Objectives & Technical Approach Demonstrate a mitigation framework for critical bottlenecks of the nation’s COVID-19 SCs through integration of robotics and automation. Develop novel digital simulation testbeds of manufacturing facilities at the micro-level , and SC networks at the macro-level , to demonstrate through scalable pilot projects improvements with specific key performance indicators in robotics and automation.
Increase the capabilities of small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) that often lack the capital, know-how, and scale to embed themselves through robotics and automation effectively into critical SCs by articulating the value proposition for SMMs. Disseminate tools for accelerating industry adoption through the ARM Institute, SAI, and NIST MEP networks.
This robotics project seeks to address needs uncovered and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Outputs from this project will better prepare the U.S. to respond to future pandemics and similar unexpected crises, through the use of robotics and automation to streamline production.

The Labor Department's RESTART grants closed April 15, but the $81 million program is a map, not just a deadline. Up to 20 awards, $5.1M ceilings, and a priority list — AI infrastructure, nuclear, advanced manufacturing, domestic minerals — that signals the shape of the next workforce funding cycle. Here is how to read it and position for what comes next.
Read articleThe FY2026 federal funding map has tilted hard toward AI, critical minerals, energy, advanced manufacturing, and workforce development — while a new layer of political review asks whether each award advances administration priorities. Here is a strategic map of where the money is moving, and how to position a proposal for the new alignment screen without distorting the work.
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.
