NIST hosted a pre-award webinar on December 8, 2021 to provide general information regarding the FY2022 Metals-based Additive Manufacturing Grants Program NOFO, offer general guidance on preparing applications, and answer questions.
Please reference https://www.nist.gov/el/metals-based-additive-manufacturing-grants-program for the most up to date information.
The purpose of the webinar was to:
- introduce potential applicants to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (or NIST);
- provide potential applicants with an overview of the NOFO; and
- hold a live Q&A to answer questions about the Notice of Funding Opportunity (or NOFO).
The recording is now available for on-demand viewing. Please visit the Metals-based Additive Manufacturing Grant Program page to view the webinar.

Funding Opportunity Description: The NIST Metals-based Additive Manufacturing Grant Program is seeking applications from eligible applicants to support significant measurement science research in addressing current and future barriers to wide-spread adoption of metals-based additive manufacturing, such as feedstock, machine, and process characterization; real-time process monitoring and control; increasing process optimization and throughput; rapid qualification methodologies for processes and parts via characterization of surface quality, part accuracy, material properties as well as model-based approaches; and computational requirements for systems integration in advanced additive manufacturing systems including multi-material and multi-laser systems.
Anticipated Amounts: In Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22), NIST anticipates funding up to four (4) awards with a maximum amount of $957,850 per award and a maximum project performance period of two (2) years. The awards will be fully funded.
Dates: Full Applications must be received at Grants.gov no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, January 11, 2022. Applications received after this deadline will not be reviewed or considered. Paper applications will not be accepted.
Questions about the Metals-based Additive Manufacturing Grants Program, eligibility requirements, evaluation and award criteria, selection process, and the general characteristics of a competitive application can be addressed at the Webinar and by e-mail at mbamgp [at] nist.gov (mbamgp[at]nist[dot]gov). There is no cost to attend the Webinar. Participation in the Webinar is not required and will not be considered in the application review and selection process.
