A group of Georgetown faculty secured up to $21 million in funding from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to provide laboratory experience and financial support to researchers across the university.

The grant enables Georgetown undergraduate and graduate students, post-baccalaureate and post-masters researchers, doctoral candidates, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty to work on complex research problems alongside scientists at NIST, an agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce that promotes U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards and technology.
