Description
The Precision Measurement Grant Program (PMGP) funds research projects that advance the field of fundamental measurement, test the basic laws of physics, or determine fundamental constants. The program is designed to support innovative research addressing current challenges or emerging opportunities in measurement science, with a particular focus on projects that may not be easily funded through other sources. The PMGP also encourages collaboration with NIST scientists and aims to foster extramural research in areas relevant to NIST’s mission.
