2024 Update: NIST Awards Funding to 8 Universities to Advance Standards Education
The Standards Coordination Office of the National Institute of Standards and Technology conducts standards-related programs, and provides knowledge and services that strengthen the U.S. economy and improve the quality of life. Its goal is to equip U.S. industry with the standards-related tools and information necessary to effectively compete in the global marketplace.
Every year it awards grants to colleges and universities through its Standards Services Curricula Cooperative Agreement Program to provide financial assistance to support curriculum development for the undergraduate and/or graduate level. These cooperative agreements support the integration of standards and standardization information and content into seminars, courses, and learning resources. The recipients will work with NIST to strengthen education and learning about standards and standardization.
The 2019 grant cycle will require application submissions before April 30, 2019 (contingent upon normal operation of the Department of Commerce). Specifics about the deadline will be posted on the NIST and ANSI websites. We will pass on those specifics as soon as they are known.
The winners of the 2018 grant cycle are Bowling Green State University, Michigan State University, Oklahoma State University, and Texas A&M University. (Click here)
The University of Michigan received an award during last year’s grant cycle (2017). An overview of the curriculum — human factors in automotive standards — is linked below:

Special Events
“View of the Colosseum” 1747 Giovanni Paolo Panini
Special event safety and sustainability — keeping large groups of people safe and engaged in the event itself — cuts across many disciplines. Educational settlements are ideal settings and the raison d’être for these communities everywhere.
Today we charge through the best practice catalogs of the following standards setting organizations:
American Society of Civil Engineers
Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
American National Standards Institute
American Water Works Association
ASHRAE International
ASTM International
University of Colorado Boulder
Consumer Technology Association
International Code Council
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
International Standardization Organization
ISO/PC 250 Sustainability in event management (British Standards Institute is the Global Secretariat)
List of All ANSI ISO TAGS (There is no ANSI US TAG Administrator as of 1 October 2023)
National Fire Protection Association
National Electrical Manufacturers Association
Telecommunications Industry Association
Underwriter Laboratories
At the moment we cover outdoor and indoor events because, conceptually, there is substantial overlap. It is likely, however, that in the fullness of time we will have to break down the coverage between exterior and interior events.
There are a number of titles from the foregoing short list of SDO’s that are open for consultation during the next 30 to 90 days so it is not likely we will have time to examine other niche SDO’s in the special event domain. For example:
There are others.
Action on open global and government consultations, and examination of developments in the research bibliography will have to wait for another day also. We cover them fairly well in the breakout meetings shown on our CALENDAR.
As always, today’s colloquium in open to everyone with the login credentials available on the upper right of our home page.

Wool Throw Project
Wyoming’s climate and geography are well-suited for sheep farming and wool production. The state has vast expanses of grasslands and mountain ranges, providing ample grazing land for sheep. Additionally, Wyoming experiences cold winters and relatively dry conditions, which are favorable for sheep and help produce high-quality wool.
