summary: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the
  United States Department of Commerce, announces the establishment of the Neutron-Based
  Materials Characterization (nMat) Consortium (Consortium). The Consortium will bring
  together industry, academia, and other stakeholders to identify and address measurement
  and standards needs related to neutron-based characterization methods for manufacturing
  materials. The Consortium will support pre-competitive research to advance the development
  and application of neutron-based measurement techniques, expand industrial access
  to advanced neutron tools, and accelerate the translation of measurement science
  into manufacturing impact. Consortium activities will leverage the capabilities
  of the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) and the Materials Science and Engineering
  Division (MSED). Participation in the Consortium will require the execution of a
  Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with NIST. At NIST's discretion,
  entities that are not permitted to enter into CRADAs pursuant to law or other governmental
  constraint may be allowed to participate in the Consortium pursuant to a separate
  non-CRADA agreement.

## TL;DR
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the United States Department of Commerce, announces the establishment of the Neutron-Based Materials Characterization (nMat) Consortium (Consortium). The Consortium will bring together industry, academia, and other stakeholders to identify and address measurement and standards needs related to neutron-based characterization methods for manufacturing materials. The Consortium will support pre-competitive research to advance the development and application of neutron-based measurement techniques, expand industrial access to advanced neutron tools, and accelerate the translation of measurement science into manufacturing impact. Consortium activities will leverage the capabilities of the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) and the Materials Science and Engineering Division (MSED). Participation in the Consortium will require the execution of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with NIST. At NIST's discretion, entities that are not permitted to enter into CRADAs pursuant to law or other governmental constraint may be allowed to participate in the Consortium pursuant to a separate non-CRADA agreement.
