The NIST Precision Measurement Grant Program (PMGP) offers funding primarily to universities, colleges, and other research laboratories. This grant is designed to enable faculty and researchers to conduct significant studies in fundamental measurement or the determination of fundamental constants. Since 1970, NIST has sponsored these projects to encourage basic, measurement-related research and foster collaboration between NIST scientists and external academic or research institutions. The PMGP also aims to support innovative new ideas that might struggle to find alternative funding. Proposed projects must align with NIST’s ongoing work in basic measurement science, providing flexibility within this core focus.

| Description: | Since 1970, NIST, as part of its research program, has provided funding under the Precision Measurement Grant Program (PMGP) primarily to universities and colleges so that faculty may conduct significant research in the field of fundamental measurement or the determination of fundamental constants. NIST sponsors these research projects primarily to encourage basic, measurement-related research in universities and colleges and other research laboratories and to foster contacts between NIST scientists and those faculty members of academic institutions and other researchers who are actively engaged in such work. The PMGP also is intended to make it possible for researchers to pursue new ideas for which other sources of support may be difficult to find. There is some latitude in research topics that will be considered under the PMGP. The key requirement is that the proposed project is consistent with NISTs ongoing work in the field of basic measurement science (http://pml.nist.gov). |
