SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST will form the ‘‘nSoft Consortium’’ to advance and transfer neutron based measurement methods for soft materials manufacturing. The goals of nSoft are to develop neutron-based measurements that address critical needs for manufacturers of soft materials such as polymers, complex fluids, and proteinbased materials. Advances in neutronbased measurement science are anticipated through the development of sample environments that closely mimic manufacturing processes, measurement methods to probe and analyze complex mixtures, and data analysis models that support routine measurements with high information content. The consortium will be supervised and administered by NIST. Consortium research and development will be conducted by NIST staff members along with at least one technical representative from each participating member company. Each member of the consortium will be required to sign a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (‘‘CRADA’’) with NIST. Membership is limited to 40 for-profit institutions and 15 not-for-profit institutions. For-profit membership fees are Twenty Thousand ($20,000) per year, payable by Member to NIST at the time of CRADA execution and annually in August thereafter. Forprofit membership fees for members who join in the second half of the year (February through July) will be Ten Thousand ($10,000), payable at the time of CRADA execution. Subsequent membership payments of Twenty Thousand ($20,000) shall be paid each year in August thereafter. Non-profit organizations in lieu of membership fees will contribute personal expertise and materials that are mutually acceptable to VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:08 Jun 28, 2012 Jkt 226001 NIST and Member. The consortium is designated to last for an initial period of two years. Dated: June 25, 2012. Willie E. May, Associate Director for Laboratory Programs.
