Abstract

This report quantifies the economic contribution of NIST as a business unit, and does not quantify the value or economic impact of the basic research advancements or the licensed, commercialized products. Beyond the impact of business operations, NIST has numerous societal and economic benefits ranging from education to innovation. Operations alone generated $2.7 billion in national economic activity and 17,064 jobs in FY2016.
