The Department of Commerce through the National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks white papers for the ‘Technology Innovation Program’ (TIP)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Technology Innovation Progran (TIP) announces that it is seeking white papers from any interested party. White papers will be used to identify and select areas of critical national need and the associated technical challenges to be addressed in future TIP competitions.
The Technology Innovation Program (TIP) was established for the purpose of assisting U.S. businesses and institutions of higher education or other organizations, such as national laboratories and nonprofit research institutions, to support, promote, and accelerate innovation in the United States through high-risk, high-reward research in areas of Critical National Need. TIP holds competitions for funding based on addressing areas of critical national need. TIP identifies and selects topics for areas of critical national need based on input from within the NIST, the TIP Advisory Board, the science and technology communities, and from the public.
TIP is interested in receiving input on the identification and definition of problems that are sufficiently large in magnitude that they have the potential to inhibit the growth and well-being of our nation today.
