Opportunity Information: Apply for 2016 NIST DR 01
The Disaster Resilience (DR) Research Grants Program is a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) funding opportunity designed to support research that strengthens how buildings are designed and how building codes and standards are developed, with the specific goal of improving disaster resilience. The program is focused on advancing resilience principles in the built environment by generating research results that can feed into science-based building codes. In practical terms, applicants are expected to study and evaluate emerging or existing technologies, engineering approaches, and architectural design criteria that could help buildings perform better during and after disasters, reducing damage, improving safety, and speeding recovery.
A key requirement is that proposed projects must align with ongoing Disaster Resilience efforts within the NIST Engineering Laboratory (EL), as referenced in Section I of the full funding announcement. This means the research should not be isolated or purely theoretical; it should connect to established NIST resilience research priorities and contribute evidence, methods, or data that can realistically be translated into code provisions, standards, guidelines, or other tools used by the building and construction community. The emphasis on "science-based" codes signals that NIST is looking for rigorous, defensible research that can withstand technical scrutiny and support policy and standards decision-making.
The opportunity is offered as a discretionary program using a cooperative agreement funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that NIST may have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance compared to a standard grant, such as collaboration, coordination, or technical engagement, depending on the terms laid out in the full announcement. The funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 11.609.
Eligibility is broad and open to all non-Federal entities. Eligible applicants include colleges and universities, nonprofit organizations, for-profit companies, state and local governments, Indian tribes, hospitals, foreign public entities, and foreign governments. Individuals cannot apply on their own; NIST requires applicants to be affiliated with and sponsored by an eligible organization. The opportunity number is 2016 NIST DR 01, it was created on July 26, 2016, and the original application closing date was September 23, 2016. The source information provided does not specify an award ceiling or the expected number of awards.Apply for 2016 NIST DR 01
