The University of Wyoming’s Manufacturing-Works was recently awarded a $500,000 grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that will help support Wyoming businesses.

The grant is part of $12 million in grants NIST recently awarded to Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) centers in 11 states.

“This is going to allow us to continue to assist Wyoming manufacturers, and one of our goals is continuing to help with diversifying the Wyoming economy,” says David Walrath, interim director of Manufacturing?-Works, and a former UW professor of mechanical engineering.

The agreements have five-year periods of performance that begin April 1, and NIST will provide nearly $60 million in total funding to MEP centers during that time. Read more:
