Precision Measurement Grant Program (PMGP)
The PMGP was started in 1970 to support research in the field of fundamental measurement or the determination of fundamental constants, enabling the faculties at universities and colleges and laboratory researchers to conduct significant research in this area.
By funding the research projects of eligible applicants through this program, NIST supports advances in fundamental measurement, the determination of fundamental constants, and fosters extramural collaboration with NIST scientists.
The PMGP also is intended to make it possible for researchers to pursue new ideas for which other sources of support may be difficult to find.
There is some latitude in research topics that will be considered under the PMGP.
