GAITHERSBURG, MD  -- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is soliciting white papers and detailed research proposals on critical national and societal needs that can be funded under its Technology Innovation Program (TIP).

TIP manages cost-shared funding for high-risk, high-reward research projects by single small-sized or medium-sized businesses or by joint ventures that also may include institutions of higher education, nonprofit research organizations and national laboratories. 
 
The 2008 the TIP competition sought new technologies for inspecting, monitoring and evaluating critical components of the nation's roadways, bridges, and drinking and wastewater systems.

In 2009 NIST is particularly interested in white papers that would help further refine several topic areas now under consideration, including:
 
Civil infrastructure; complex networks and complex systems for energy delivery, telecommunications, transportation and finance; energy technologies that address emerging alternative energy sources; water technologies that address growing needs for fresh water supplies and ensure the safety of water and food supplies from contamination; manufacturing improvement; nanomaterials and nanotechnology; personalized medicine and sustainable chemistry.

White papers can be submitted to meet several due dates, including: Jan. 15, 2009, March 9, 2009, May 11, 2009, and July 13, 2009. White papers may be mailed to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Technology Innovation Program, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 4750, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-4750, Attention: Critical National Needs Ideas, or may be emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots.
