Status Report - Number 2
NIST SP 950-2

Acknowledgements
First, and foremost, the contributors to this report acknowledge the many researchers at companies, universities, and other institutions who achieved the technical progress related in this report, and the managers and investors who supported and directed the work. Without their visionary insight, creativity, hard work, and commitment to the innovation process, there would be little to discuss here.

Second, the contributors acknowledge the assistance provided by ATP program managers who assisted the case writers in understanding the projects and the technologies. They provided an invaluable link to the projects and research community.

Finally, the project manager, Darin Boville, acknowledges the collective and individual contributions to this report by the senior author and case writers. Appreciation is extended to Rosalie Ruegg of TIA Consulting, in her role as senior author, for compiling and analyzing aggregate statistics, developing composite performance metrics for all the projects, preparing the overview chapter and appendices, editing the new cases, and helping to redesign the report and adding new features. Kathleen McTigue, the project coordinator, oversaw the entire publication effort, reviewed various drafts, and provided editorial and stylistic input. William Long of Business Performance Associates, the author of the first published status report containing 38 cases which were rolled into this volume, is due thanks. Chris Hansen, Benjamin Fletcher, Kathleen McTigue, Josh Rosenberg, Karen Seeh, Mariah Tanner, Jonathan Tucker, and Michael Walsh — all present or former members of ATP’s staff — are deserving of credit for adding a dozen new cases to the report. Linda Sherman and her staff at Linda Sherman Design, Inc., are thanked for their work on the design and layout. ATP and NIST staff who reviewed the draft report are also acknowledged, particularly Stephanie Shipp, Director of the Economic Assessment Office, Jeanne Powell, and Connie Chang.

Finally, appreciation is extended to the reader who takes the time to learn more about the projects and the program. This report is one of several resulting from ATP’s ongoing evaluation effort to provide information to the public on the projects it has funded. Other studies are available at ATP’s website (www.atp.nist.gov). We welcome your questions and comments.
