Abstract
This document is the triennial strategic plan for the Manufacturing USA Program, as required by the program's authorizing statute. This strategic plan addresses the role of the Manufacturing USA institutes in developing advanced manufacturing technology; fostering resilient, domestic supply chains; and building a diverse and equitable manufacturing workforce. The Manufacturing USA institutes are an important part of that work. They help facilitate U.S. leadership in advanced manufacturing and build a strong workforce. The institutes work through public-private partnerships and are involved in a range of cutting-edge technologies from robotics to additive manufacturing to biomanufacturing. Guided by this Strategic Plan, the NIST Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office works with the Federal agency partners to coordinate the network of institutes to achieve the following vision and mission. The vision for the Manufacturing USA program is U.S. global leadership in advanced manufacturing through the development and transition of innovative technologies into scalable, cost-effective, and high-performing domestic manufacturing capabilities. To support this vision, the mission of the Manufacturing USA Program is to connect people, ideas, and technology to solve industry-relevant advanced manufacturing challenges, thereby enhancing industrial competitiveness. Based on the vision and mission of the Manufacturing USA Program, the Federal agency partners and institutes work toward four goals that flow from the purposes stated in the authorizing legislation and are consistent with each sponsoring agency's mission: Goal 1: Increase the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing Goal 2: Facilitate the transition of innovative technologies into scalable, cost-effective, and high-performing domestic manufacturing capabilities Goal 3: Accelerate the development of an advanced manufacturing workforce Goal 4: Promote a network of institutes that build long-term support for and within their communities These four program goals are interrelated elements of a robust strategy for supporting manufacturing innovation by reducing the time required to transition early-stage research to commercial development and, ultimately, deployment in U.S. manufacturing environments. The goals guide the network of agency partners and institutes to advance U.S. domestic manufacturing capability while leveraging the economic and national security benefits from other Federal and private sector investments in fundamental research.Citation
