The National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST), a laboratory of the Department of Commerce, was a major player in the Clinton Administration's strategy for civilian technology investment. However, the 104th Congress cut funding levels 18% between FY1995 and FY1997. In FY1998, this trend was temporarily reversed when the NIST budget increased 20% primarily due to additional financing for construction. FY1999 appropriations were 5% below the previous year, while FY2000 support remained constant. In FY2001, the NIST appropriation decreased 6% to $598.3 million as a result of fewer construction dollars. For FY2002, P.L. 107-77 funds NIST at $674.5 million, 13% above the prior fiscal year. Included in this is a 27% increase in support for the Advanced Technology Program(ATP). The Bush Administration's FY2003 budget reauests $577.5 million for NIST, 15% below the current appropriation. While in-house research and development would increase 25%, support for ATP would decline 35%. Funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership would decrease 89% as the Administration recommends withdrawal of federal funds from those centers in operation more than 6yesrs.
