announces that the following programs
are soliciting applications for financial
assistance for FY 2009: (1) The
Electronics and Electrical Engineering
Laboratory Grants Program; (2) the
Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory
Grants Program; (3) the Chemical
Science and Technology Laboratory

Each program will only consider
applications that are within the
scientific scope of the program as
described in this notice and in the
detailed program descriptions found in
the Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO)
announcement for these programs. Prior
to preparation of a proposal, it is
strongly suggested that potential
applicants contact the Program Manager
for the appropriate field of research, as
specified in the FFO announcement
found at https://www.grants.gov, for
clarification of the program objectives
and to determine whether their proposal
is responsive to this notice.
DATES: For all programs listed in this
notice applications will be considered
on a continuing basis. Applications
received after June 1, 2009 may be
processed and considered for funding
under this solicitation in the current
fiscal year or in the next fiscal year,
subject to the availability of funds.
Applications, paper and electronic,
must be received prior to the

Laboratory (EEEL) Grants Program:
Program Description: The Electronics
and Electrical Engineering Laboratory
(EEEL) Grants Program will provide
grants and cooperative agreements for
the development of fundamental
electrical metrology and of metrology
supporting industry and government
agencies in the broad areas of
semiconductors, electronic
instrumentation, radio-frequency
technology, optoelectronics, magnetics,
superconductors, electronic commerce
as applied to electronic products and
devices, the transmission and
distribution of electrical power, national
electrical standards (fundamental,
generally quantum-based physical
standards), and law enforcement
standards. Financial support may be
provided for conferences, workshops, or
other technical research meetings that
are relevant to the mission of the
Electronics and Electrical Engineering
Laboratory. Specific information
regarding program objectives can be
found in the corresponding Federal
Funding Opportunity for this
announcement.
DATES: Applications will be considered
on a continuing basis. Applications
received after June 1, 2009 may be
processed and considered for funding
under this solicitation in the current
fiscal year or in the next fiscal year,
subject to the availability of funds. All
applications, paper and electronic, must
be received prior to the publication date
in the Federal Register of the FY 2010
solicitation for the NIST Measurement,

Management Division, (301) 975–5718;
christopher.hunton@nist.gov. For
assistance with using https://
www.grants.gov, contact
support@grants.gov.
Funding Availability: In fiscal year
2008, the EEEL Grants Program made 7
new awards, totaling $388,497. The
amount available each year fluctuates
considerably based on programmatic
needs and funding availability. For FY
2009, individual awards are expected to
range between $5,000 and $150,000.
For the Electronics and Electrical
Engineering Laboratory Grants Program,
proposals will be considered for
research projects from one to three
years. When a proposal for a multi-year
award is approved, funding will
generally be provided for only the first
year of the program. If an application is
selected for funding, NIST has no
obligation to provide any additional
funding in connection with that award.
Continuation of an award to increase
funding or extend the period of
performance is at the total discretion of
NIST. Funding for each subsequent year
of a multi-year proposal will be
contingent upon satisfactory progress,
continued relevance to the mission of
the Electronics and Electrical
Engineering Laboratory Grants Program,
and the availability of funds. Multi-year
awards must have scopes of work that
can be easily separated into annual
increments of meaningful work that
represent solid accomplishments if
prospective funding is not made
available to the applicant (i.e., the
scopes of work for each funding period
must produce identifiable and
meaningful results in and of
themselves).
Statutory Authority: As authorized by
15 U.S.C. 272(b) and (c), the NIST
Electronics and Electrical Engineering
Laboratory conducts a basic and applied
research program directly and through
grants and cooperative agreements to
eligible recipients.
Eligibility: The Electronics and
Electrical Engineering Laboratory Grants
