IMI Selection Process -- The IMI selection process will be managed by the interagency AMNPO. Participating Federal agencies
currently include DOC/NIST, DOD, DOE, ED, NASA, and NSF. The inter-agency AMNPO team will be responsible for managing an open,
competitive selection process and for executing the award process. Solicitations for Institute proposals may be staged, and
the design and number of solicitations will depend on the availability and timing of funds. Proposals received in response
to the solicitation(s) will be evaluated competitively by a review team. The review team will include members of the AMNPO,
agency partners, and other experts. The meritbased selection process may include pre-proposals, site visits, and economic

opportunities and support the goals of enhancing American industrial competitiveness on regional, national and global bases.
