- Abstract
- Good Morning, my name is Jim Hill, I work in the Building and Fire Research Laboratory but I am also working part time in the Advanced Technology Program. Dr. Stone asked me to just say a few words to you about the current status of ATP. Many of you in this room have probably been exposed to this program. Some of you work for companies who have won cooperative agreements from the program. But just to bring everybody up to speed, this is a program that was originally authorized in 1988, appropriated monies for the first time in 1990, and has been growing rapidly ever since. The mission is to stimulate U.S. economic growth by developing high risk and enabling technologies through programs proposed by industry and cost-shared by NIST and industry.
