The NIST Standards Services Curricula Development Cooperative Agreement Program (SSCD CAP) is seeking applications from eligible applicants to develop undergraduate and/or graduate level curricula to incorporate documentary standards[1], standards development, and standardization information and content into seminars, modules, courses, and learning resources.
