The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity titled "NSF-NIST Interaction in Basic and Applied Scientific Research in BIO, ENG & MPS" aimed at facilitating collaborative research between NSF-supported researchers and scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Eligible applicants include principal investigators (PIs) on current NSF awards from the BIO, ENG, or MPS Directorates, who may request supplemental support to engage in research utilizing NIST's extensive measurement systems and instruments. This initiative is crucial for enhancing scientific collaboration and innovation across various fields of research and development. The estimated total program funding is $300,000, with approximately 20 awards expected, and proposals are accepted anytime, with inquiries directed to NSF grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov.

This Dear Colleague Letter is intended to facilitate interactions between Principal Investigators (PIs), co-PIs, post-doctoral scholars and both undergraduate and graduate students supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and scientists and engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology&apos;s (NIST). NIST operates a vast array of instruments and measurement systems, both commercial equipment and specialized tools developed by NIST researchers. Researchers from industry, academia, and non-profit organizations interested in working collaboratively with NIST researchers on projects of mutual interest may access these systems as part of that research. Supplemental support to existing NSF awards may be requested to allow PIs, co-PIs, post-doctoral scholars and both undergraduate and graduate students on these awards to participate in such collaborative research at NIST.
