11.611 -- Manufacturing Extension Partnership
Description
NIST invites applications from current recipients of Manufacturing Extension Partnership Center cooperative agreements (MEP Centers) to perform assessments of small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) in areas subject to a FEMA Disaster Declaration. These assessments should be designed to identify the impact, if any, to the operations of the SMMs as result of the subject disaster. MEP Centers receiving funding pursuant to this program must also assist impacted SMMs in identifying and accessing Federal, State and local resources to aid in business recovery efforts and, as appropriate, in the development of a risk mitigation plan for future disasters. Award recipients will further be required to share the results of their project, including disaster preparedness lessons learned and SMMs best practices, with other SMMs, NIST and the MEP National NetworkTM in order to help the SMM community with future disaster resilience planning efforts. See Section I. in the Full Announcement Text of this NOFO.

A MEP Center may only submit one funding application for each FEMA Disaster Declaration and, where an application is submitted with respect to a particular FEMA Disaster Declaration, such MEP Center may not be included as a subawardee or as a project participant in any other applications pertaining to the same FEMA Disaster Declaration. Moreover, a MEP Center that does not submit a funding application for a particular FEMA Disaster Declaration may only be included as a subawardee or as a project participant in one funding application for each FEMA Disaster Declaration.
