National Institute of Standards & Technology
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), part of the Technology Administration, promotes U.S. economic growth by working with industry to develop and apply technology, measurements and standards.
Founded in 1901, NIST is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration. NIST's mission is to develop and promote measurement, standards, and technology to enhance productivity, facilitate trade, and improve the quality of life. NIST carries out its mission in four cooperative programs:
NIST Laboratories
Baldridge National Quality Program
Manufacturing Extension Partnership
Advanced Technology Program
NIST Laboratories: NIST Laboratories, located in both Gaithersburg, Md., and Boulder, Colo., conduct research in a wide variety of physical and engineering sciences. The labs respond to industry needs for measurement methods, tools, data, and technology. NIST researchers collaborate with colleagues in industry, academic institutions, and other government agencies. Read on for brief descriptions of each lab and links to their homepages. Brief descriptions of current NIST projects also are available from the Guide to NIST at www.nist.gov/guide.
Information Technology Laboratory- conducts research and develops test methods and standards for emerging and rapidly-changing information technologies. ITL focuses on technologies to improve the usability, reliability and security of computers and computer networks for work and home.
http://www.itl.nist.gov/Baldrige National Quality Program: promotes and recognizes organizational performance excellence.
http://baldrige.nist.gov/The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award was created by Public Law 100-107, signed into law on August 20, 1987. The Award Program, responsive to the purposes of Public Law 100-107, led to the creation of a new public-private partnership. Principal support for the program comes from the Foundation for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, established in 1988.
The Award is named for Malcolm Baldrige, who served as Secretary of Commerce from 1981 until his tragic death in a rodeo accident in 1987. His managerial excellence contributed to long-term improvement in efficiency and effectiveness of government. The Findings and Purposes Section of Public Law 100-107 states that:"Manufacturing Extension Partnership: provides technical and business assistance to smaller manufacturers.
http://www.mep.nist.gov/Are you one of the 350,000 small manufacturers in the U.S? Are you as profitable as you can be? If you want to improve your productivity, strengthen your competitiveness and increase your profits, we can help. We're MEP. A nationwide network of manufacturing experts ready to help you succeed in a big way.
Advanced Technology Program: partners with the private-sector to develop broadly beneficial technologies.
