Metals-based Additive Manufacturing Grant Program | NIST https://www. nist. gov/el/metals-based-additive-manufacturing-grant-program 2022 Metals-based Additive Manufacturing Grant Program (MBAMGP) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) 10/17/2022: UPDATE - The 2022-MBAMGP-NIST-01 is no longer accepting applications.
All applications that were received by the closing date of 1/11/2022 have been reviewed. NIST is in the process of Making final SELECTIONS AND will be notifying applicants when the status of their application changes.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) refers to a class of technologies for producing highly-complex, customized components by building up materials to make objects based on a three-dimensional (3D) computer model, typically built layer upon layer.
AM provides the agility needed to rapidly make innovative customized complex products and replacement parts that are not realizable by more traditional manufacturing technologies or are required to be produced in low volumes. It offers additional advantages, including reduced material waste, lower energy intensity, reduced time-to-market, and just-in-time production.
The U.S. produces approximately 18 percent of the world's manufactured goods. U.S. manufacturing accounts for about $6. 5 trillion or 28 percent of national output.
Manufacturing represented about 16 percent of global GDP, 70 percent of global trade, and 45 million advanced economy jobs in 2010. The industrial 3D printing market for metals has increased 32. 4 percent CAGR (compound annual growth rate) 2016-2019 and is projected to rise 23.
3 percent CAGR 2020-2025. Collaboration between NIST’s Additive Manufacturing programs and the Metals-based Additive Manufacturing Grant Program awardees will help to facilitate the measurements and standards that will enable dramatic advances in the additive manufacturing field. Applicants are therefore encouraged to propose potential collaboration opportunities with NIST AM programs.

NIST is pausing all submissions under the CRDO Broad Agency Announcement (2025-NIST-CHIPS-CRDO-01) on September 15, 2026 for system upgrades — no white papers, no pre-negotiation packages, no investment fund applications until roughly November. Here is what the pause means for a $10M-minimum rolling BAA that runs through 2029, and how to use the dark window.
Read articleThe FY2026 MEP Center State Competition ran in two rounds: eight states worth $139.1 million, then fourteen more worth $232.4 million, both closing August 21, 2026. That's 43 percent of the national network recompeted in twelve months, under a 50 percent non-federal cost share, while the administration's own budget request proposed eliminating the program. Here's what the award tables reveal, why incumbents are genuinely at risk, and how to position for the FY2027 wave.
Read articleNIST's July 2026 MEP funding opportunity opens 14 state and territory centers — from California's $15.6M to Alaska's $706K — to new operators under cooperative agreements requiring a 50% nonfederal match. Applications are due August 21, 2026, with a July 28 webinar. Here is who can compete, how the match works, and why this recompete matters for every small manufacturer in those 14 states.
