Welcome from the NIST Director
Welcome to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Technology advances up to half of new economic growth, strengthens America's security, improves the health of the American people, and creates new jobs and opportunities to support our future prosperity. As an agency of the Department of Commerce, NIST plays a key role in enabling the hard work and innovative ideas of the American people to strengthen our technology leadership. NIST works with the private sector to develop and apply the technology, measurements and standards that industry needs for new and improved products and services. With a 100-year record of success, NIST is the only federal agency with this mission. I encourage you to learn more about NIST's activities, how to make use of our products and services, and how to work with NIST.

Arden L. Bement, Jr.
Director
