Advanced Manufacturing Grants (NIST) is a grant program from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U.S. Department of Commerce that funds advanced manufacturing research, technology development, and industry-driven consortia. The NIST Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia (AMTech) program historically supported competitive grants to establish or strengthen industry-driven consortia addressing high-priority research challenges to grow advanced manufacturing in the United States. Past awards supported areas including fluid power, biopharmaceuticals, lightweight metals, photonics, and sustainable manufacturing. Awards of up to $300,000 have been made through various Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs). Eligible applicants may include businesses, academic institutions, and other organizations, and should review official NOFOs for specific requirements before applying.

The same law froze indirect policy at NSF, Commerce and NASA. But OMB's sweeping new grants rule quietly reopens the fight through the back door. Here is what changed, what money recipients can claw back, and how to protect your indirect recovery going forward.
