ASME Supports NIST R&D Priorities for FY25
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) today expressed its strong support for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Fiscal Year 2025 budget request.
NIST plays a pivotal role in advancing U.S. science and technology goals, and robust research and facility funding for NIST is essential to maintaining our nation’s leadership edge in driving the development and deployment of emerging technologies.
NIST has long been a cornerstone in the U.S. standards development community, providing the scientific and technical foundation that underpins countless private sector standards development activities critical to industry and innovation. The partnership between NIST and organizations including ASME fosters a competitive and innovative environment for U.S. industries, helping to drive economic growth and ensuring the safety and reliability of products and services around the world.
ASME Executive Director/CEO Tom Costabile made the following statement:
“NIST’s research and development initiatives are strongly aligned towards our most critical engineering challenges. From cybersecurity and advanced manufacturing to quantum computing and artificial intelligence, NIST's work is instrumental in pushing the boundaries of what is possible and addressing the challenges of tomorrow.
The FY25 budget request for NIST is an investment in our nation's future. It ensures that NIST can continue to conduct groundbreaking research, support industry, and uphold our national security and economic prosperity.
ASME urges Congress to fully support NIST’s FY25 budget authorization. By doing so, we affirm our commitment to maintaining U.S. leadership in science and technology, driving innovation, and securing our nation’s place at the forefront of global technological advancement.”
