Opportunity Information: Apply for 2024 NIST AI MFGUSA 01
The FY2024 Manufacturing USA Institute - AI for Resilient Manufacturing funding opportunity is a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) competition to stand up a new Manufacturing USA institute centered on applying artificial intelligence to make U.S. manufacturing more resilient. In practical terms, NIST is looking for one lead organization or team that can build and run a national, public-private partnership that brings together AI expertise, real-world manufacturing process knowledge, and supply chain network insight. The institute is expected to run applied research and development projects (focused on industry-wide, shared needs rather than narrow, single-company problems) that help manufacturers better anticipate, withstand, and recover from disruptions, while also improving innovation capacity and overall competitiveness.
The envisioned institute, referred to as the AI for Resilient Manufacturing institute (AI MFG USA), is meant to operate as a national hub that accelerates manufacturing innovation through coordinated projects, shared infrastructure, and collaboration across industry, academia, and government partners. A major emphasis is on moving AI from theory into industrial deployment, meaning the institute should not only develop methods and tools but also demonstrate and transition them into manufacturing environments where they can improve operations and resilience. Alongside the technical mission, the institute is also expected to cultivate a world-leading workforce capable of implementing and scaling the AI technologies and practices developed through institute efforts, strengthening the talent pipeline needed for long-term adoption across the sector.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, listed under CFDA 11.619, with an activity focus in science, technology, and other research and development. The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," consistent with Manufacturing USA institute awards that support both initial stand-up activities and ongoing operational efforts to run a sustained national program. NIST indicates it expects to make a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), meaning this is a winner-take-all selection for the organization that will lead and operate the institute. The notice was created on 2024-07-22, and the original application closing date is 2025-01-23.
Eligibility is broad but clearly defined. Applicants may include accredited U.S. institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit organizations that are organized and operated in the United States (including U.S. territories) and that have majority domestic ownership or control. State, local, U.S. territorial, and Indian Tribal governments are also eligible. At the same time, several categories are explicitly excluded: individuals and unincorporated sole proprietors cannot apply; foreign public entities and foreign organizations are not eligible; federal agencies and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) cannot apply; and existing Manufacturing USA institutes are not eligible to apply to create this new institute. Additional eligibility details, including requirements affecting proposed subrecipients and partners, are referenced as being located in Section 3 of the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).Apply for 2024 NIST AI MFGUSA 01
