NIST Awards $55 Million for University Research Facilities

摘要

The U.S. Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced in July grants totaling more than $55.5 million to four universities to provide cost-shared support for the construction of new scientific research facilities.rn"These awards mean four major construction projects in these local areas, with the jobs and economic benefits they bring," U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said, "but even more important, these four projects provide a major boost to scientific research at four respected universities, enhancing innovation, public safety and environmental protection for many, many years to come."
