Performance of Second 50 Completed ATP Projects — Status Report Number 3 NIST Special Publication 950-3 (January 2006) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe are pleased to announce the completion of the next chapter in ATP’s portfolio of status reports for completed projects. This compilation consists of the second batch of 50 “mini case studies” written to investigate the results and impacts of ATP’s investment in innovative technologies. The goal of each status report is to provide the reader with a basic understanding of the technology, while also identifying any economic benefits that may have resulted from the ATP-funded project. This process is a daunting one, requiring the efforts of many both inside and outside of ATP. The majority of the project was made possible by the former and current members of the status report team: Tony Colandrea, Stefanie Cox, David Dashefsky, Kirsten Matsumoto, Nashira Nicholson, Rick Rodman, and Amol Singla. We would especially like to thank ATP Division Directors Linda Beth Schilling (Chemistry and Life Sciences Office) and Elissa Sobolewski (Information Technology and Electronics Office), ATP Deputy Director Lorel Wisniewski, and Rosalie Ruegg (Managing Director, TIA Consulting, Inc.), for their contributions to this project. Much appreciation also goes to the hard work of the others involved in preparing the status reports: project managers, reviewers, copy editors, and company representatives. But these efforts aren’t without rewards. As the portfolio of ATP status reports grows, we gain
insight as to the role ATP plays in bridging the funding gap. We are confident this showcase of
the second batch of 50 completed projects will help build on our understanding of ATP-funded
innovations across many technology areas. We hope that you learn as much about the process of
early-stage technology development, commercialization, and outcomes for the economy as we
have in preparing these status reports. Sincerely, | S | Lee Bowes, Economist Return to Table of Contents or go to next section of Status Report No. 3. Date created: March 20, 2006 |
