Description
The NSF-NIST Scholars-in-Residence Initiative offers short-term internships or faculty fellowships at NIST to advance standards development for AI-ready data, workflows, machine-readable code, calibration objects, and other bioeconomy processes.
- Participants spend dedicated time in a NIST laboratory developing and validating standards in biotechnology and the bioeconomy.
- Scholars may work on machine-readable protocols, calibration/benchmarking objects, and AI-ready data integration, with objectives tailored jointly with NIST.
- All developed protocols and data standards are made publicly available after verification.
- Funding covers salary, benefits, and relocation/moving expenses for faculty, postdocs, and graduate students; proposals must follow a two-step process (white paper to NIST, then full proposal to NSF).
