GENERAL COMPETITION 97-01
and Notice of Regional
Public Meetings: January 6, 8, 10, and 13, 1997
Introduction
The NIST
Advanced Technology Program (ATP) is soliciting
proposals under ATP General Competition 97-01 and announcing public
meetings (Proposers' Conferences) for all interested parties. General
Competition 97-01 is open to all areas of technology. This notice provides
general information for this ATP competition planned for fiscal year 1997.
Although an estimated $20 to $25 million in first-year funding is available
under General Competition 97-01, the ATP reserves the right to utilize
more or less funding. The actual number of proposals funded will depend
on the quality of the proposals received and the amount of funding requested
in the highest ranked proposals. Outyear funding is contingent on the
approval of future Congressional appropriations and satisfactory project
performance. The ATP operates under program procedures published at Part
295, Title 15, of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The November 1996
ATP Proposal Preparation Kit, containing proposal cover sheets, other
required forms, background material, and instructions for submission of
proposals may be obtained by phone: 1-800-ATP-FUND, fax: 301-926-9524
or 301-590-3053, e-mail: atp@nist.gov,
or written request at the address shown below. The ATP is mailing the
November 1996 version of the ATP Proposal Preparation Kit to everyone
currently on the ATP mailing list. Therefore, those individuals need not
contact the ATP to request the kit. Only FULL proposals are being solicited
under this General Competition 97-01. Abbreviated/pre-proposals WILL NOT
be accepted. Proposals submitted by facsimile or electronic mail WILL
NOT be accepted. If a proposal is judged to be of sufficient quality as
to warrant an oral review, ATP reserves the right to submit a list of
questions to the proposer that must be addressed at the oral review. The
due date for submission of full proposals is 3 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday,
March 19, 1997. Should the NIST facility be closed on
the specified due date, ATP proposals will be due at 3 p.m. Eastern time
on the next business day that the NIST facility is open. Proposals received
after this deadline will not be considered.
