“Investing in the next generation of standards leaders can help ensure U.S. technology leadership worldwide,” says Gordon Gillerman, director of NIST’s Standards Coordination Office. “Not only are standards important to innovation, safety, and a fair marketplace, a standards-savvy workforce is critical to the U.S. leadership in international standards development.”

Since it began in 2012, NIST’s Standards Services Curricula Development Cooperative Agreement Program has received 225 applications and made 46 awards totaling nearly $3.7 million.
