NIST delegates Ohio technical assistance program to manufacturer association
What happened
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has delegated the management of technical assistance in Ohio to the Ohio Manufacturer's Association Educational and Industrial Development Institute. This transfer follows reports that the Ohio Department of Development failed to report accurate financial results and ensure allowable subrecipient expenses in the previous program. The Ohio Manufacturer's Association will oversee a network providing assistance to small and medium-sized manufacturers in areas like supply chain and technology adoption.
