ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST)
Center for Neutron Research (NCNR)
announces its intent to form
collaborations, called ‘‘Participating
Research Teams’’ (PRTs), to develop and
apply advanced cold and thermal
neutron beam measurement capabilities
at the NCNR to assist crucial and timely
U.S. R&D on the structure and dynamics
of advanced materials that enhance
technology and manufacturing. The
NCNR is therefore soliciting letters of
interest in forming PRTs, which will be
open to one or more U.S. companies,
universities, and/or government
agencies. Any resulting PRTs will be
implemented through a Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement
(CRADA) with NCNR. The appropriate
percentage of cost sharing among the
non-federal partners will be determined
as part of the negotiations to form the
PRT, and will be documented in the
CRADA.
SUMMARY:
Letters of interest will be
received on an ongoing basis,
anticipated to continue for up to five
years following publication of this
notice. Should a date be reached when
letters of interest will cease to be
accepted, a notice will be posted at
www.ncnr.nist.gov.

Interested parties should
send letters to Dr. Robert Dimeo,
