NIST MISSION Is to develop and promote measurement, standards, and technology to enhance productivity, facilitate trade, and improve the quality of life

In carrying out its mission NIST works directly with  industry partners (and consortia)  universities  associations  other government agencies

Strategic planning for technology transfer is not a stand alone activity to be rationalized with other strategic planning activities, but is rather an automatic, integral component of all Laboratory, Divisions, Groups and individual strategic and performance plans. “Technology Transfer” at NIST is a broadly defined function that includes many mission-specific activities. “Technology Transfer” at NIST is a broadly defined function that includes many mission-specific activities.

Strategic “Competence” Programs funded by the NIST Director The NIST Director’s competence program funds high priority, fundamental research within NIST that will expand or develop new technical competencies required to support emerging national metrology needs.  Funding for five years  Strategic criteria include level of potential impact on U.S. industry, and technology delivery plan

Five Year Programs funded in FY 2005  Metrology for Gene Expression  Metrology of Semiconductor Quantum Nanowires Enabling Improved Sensor, Security, and Biomedical Systems  Phase-sensitive Scatterfield Optical Imaging for Sub-10 nm Dimensional Metrology  Metrology to Enable the Realization of Organic Electronics Devices  Optical Atomic Clocks and Frequency Standards: Development, Distribution and New Applications  Super Resolution, In-situ Microscopies for Characterization of Nanostructured Materials  New Paradigms in Waveform Metrology

Typical Strategic “Transfer of Technology” Lifecycle  Industry “Road mapping” conferences  Strategic “Competence” Programs funded by the NIST Director  Period of on-going laboratory research and collaboration, standards implementation, external laboratory accreditation, etc.  Annual external review  Close-out
