The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has awarded $123 million in grants to 11 universities and a non-profit research organization to support the construction of new scientific research facilities. These facilities will focus on various areas of research, including quantum physics and nanotechnology. The total investment in these projects will exceed $250 million, with construction beginning early this year. The grants were awarded through a competitive process where universities and research organizations submitted proposals outlining their plans for new research facilities. This significant investment will enhance research capabilities, create new opportunities for collaboration and innovation, and have a lasting impact on the nation’s research landscape.
