Opportunity Information: Apply for 2018 NIST SSCD 01
The NIST Standards Services Curricula Development (SSCD) Cooperative Agreement Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help expand and improve education about standards and standardization in U.S. higher education. The core goal is to provide financial assistance and hands-on support for developing or enhancing curricula that weave standards-related content into undergraduate and/or graduate instruction. This can include full courses, course modules, seminars, and other learning resources that help students understand how standards are created, maintained, and used in real-world science, engineering, technology, and related fields. Awardees are expected to work collaboratively with NIST, reflecting the cooperative agreement structure, with an emphasis on strengthening teaching and learning around standards and standardization rather than supporting unrelated research activities.
Eligible applicants primarily include accredited institutions of higher education (IHEs) located in the United States or its territories. The opportunity also allows a wider range of entities to apply, including non-profit organizations, commercial organizations, public and private hospitals, and state, local, and Indian tribal governments, as long as they secure a formal letter of commitment from an accredited U.S. IHE. That letter must state the IHEs commitment to incorporate the applicants project into the institutions undergraduate and/or graduate educational programs, such as through a pilot offering or another implementation pathway. In practical terms, this means non-university applicants must show a credible plan for adoption inside an actual academic program, not just content development in isolation.
The program is designed to be flexible in how teams are formed. Any eligible applicant may apply on its own or propose sub-awards and/or contracts as part of a broader project plan, effectively creating a team or consortium. This structure supports collaborations where, for example, a university partners with a standards-focused nonprofit, an industry group, or another institution to develop learning materials, align them with current standards practices, and test them in classrooms. The emphasis throughout is on creating educational resources that can be integrated into higher education settings and that improve student exposure to standards, the role of standards in innovation and trade, and the processes that underpin standardization.
