Functional Analysis of Variance

Ongoing
Assessment of measurement data often raises statistical inference questions which have not been adequately addressed in the statistical literature. For example, NIST scientists may encounter issues on whether two measurement techniques give arise to similar measurement curves, whether there is a...

Genome in a Bottle

Ongoing
Consortium goals: The Genome in a Bottle Consortium is a public-private-academic consortium hosted by NIST to develop the technical infrastructure (reference standards, reference methods, and reference data) to enable translation of whole human genome sequencing to clinical practice and innovations...

Impact Metrics

Ongoing
In response to h-index requests from NIST management and staff, Library staff provide comprehensive publication analysis studies and reports that ensure the h-index is put in proper context as one of several ways to assess the impact of an individual or group. The Library can also compile non...

Interdisciplinary Projects

Ongoing
Current: DARPA CCU (Computational Cultural Understanding) ​ Past: IARPA MATERIAL (Machine Translation for English Retrieval of Information in Any Language) DARPA LORELEI (Low Resource Languages for Emergent Incidents) and LoReHLT (Low Resource Human Language Technologies) DARPA BOLT (Broad...

Key Comparisons and International Interlaboratory Studies Project

Ongoing
Key comparisons serve as the technical basis for the MRA and must therefore accurately reflect the true relationships between measurement systems maintained by NMI's belonging to the CIPM. The results of key comparisons must also be extensible to members of Regional Metrology Organizations (RMO's)...

Knowledge Facilitation Project

Ongoing
As we grow to rely on the data in our computers, and that data is shared more frequently, the need for security of that data also grows. Our staff depends upon the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data we store and process for them. Confidentiality refers to allowing access to our...

Measurement Services (SRMs and Calibrations)

Ongoing
The objective of this project is assure that certifications and uncertainty statements associated with NIST Standard Reference Materials are on a solid scientific foundation. SRMs are artifacts or chemical mixtures that are manufactured according to strict specifications, and are then certified by...

METIS

Ongoing
A Metrology Exchange to Innovate in Semiconductors

Metrology for Cardiac Leads

Ongoing
Quantifying cardiac lead reliability is not an easy task because of the vastly different conditions under which leads must operate under when installed in a human body. The committee is actively involved in many aspects of cardiac lead reliability including: gage repeatability and reproducibility...

metRology for Microsoft Excel

Ongoing
DESCRIPTION: The current version of the metRology for Microsoft Excel add-in focuses on uncertainty analysis using the methods outlined in the JCGM Guide the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (often referred to as the GUM). These methods for uncertainty analysis are widely accepted and their...

metRology Software Project

Ongoing
DESCRIPTION: The current version of the metRology package focuses on statistical functions for uncertainty analysis and for the analysis of interlaboratory studies and key comparisons. A number of the functions focus on uncertainty analysis using the methods outlined in the JCGM Guide to the...

Modeling Dispersion Rheology for Non-Spherical Particles

Completed
The goal of this MGI project is to establish an interactive database, generated by sophisticated modeling, such as dissipative particle dynamics and smooth particle hydrodynamics, to compute the rheological properties of polymer composites, where interaction among inclusions, inclusion particle...

NCAL: Data Management

Ongoing
In the mechanical testing and materials science communities there is not a widely accepted solution for data management of test data. As part of NIST efforts on data archiving, provenance, and availability, we have worked to improve our data practices. We have extended our system beyond many out-of...

NIST LabCAS: Data Driven Science Architecture and Resource

Ongoing
Biological data lie at the heart of innovation and artificial intelligence (AI) advances in the emerging biotechnology sector and serve as key strategic resources for achieving major breakthroughs in biomanufacturing, as summarized by the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology's...

NIST Materials Resource Registry

Ongoing
The MRR is a comprehensive inventory of high-level data collections, repositories, databases, tools, software, and services useful to materials research and design but located anywhere in the world. Its specialization for Materials Science is in the domain-specific metadata and vocabulary it can...

NIST/SEMATECH Engineering Statistics Handbook

Ongoing
Description: The project began with a request from SEMATECH, a consortium of major U.S. semiconductor manufacturers, to update the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) Handbook 91, Experimental Statistics. Handbook 91, written by Mary Natrella of the NBS Statistical Engineering Lab, was a best-selling...

NRC Postdoctoral Associate Program

Ongoing
Description: The Statistical Engineering Division (SED), within the Information Technology Laboratory, serves primarily as a research and consulting group working with the NIST scientific staff. Members of the Division engage in research in the areas of statistical graphics, reliability, linear...

Ontologies and Interoperability in Evolutionary Comparative Analysis

Completed
Intended impact Nearly all scientists who regularly use online resources on genes, proteins and genomes make use of comparative data to advance biomedical research. For instance, researchers often make useful inferences by comparing human genes (as well as proteins, reactions, interactions, pathways...

Open Access to Research (OAR)

Ongoing
Major Capabilities: Data Services and Tools: The OAR systems provide end-to-end workflow to deliver research outputs to the public. NIST Management of Institutional Data Assets (MIDAS) is a comprehensive application suite developed for orchestrating research data and code publication, data...
