==Technology Innovation Program==
A new, successor program was enacted called the NIST Technology Innovation Program (TIP). TIP was established for the purpose of assisting U.S. businesses and institutions of higher education or other organizations, such as national laboratories and nonprofit research institutes, to support, promote, and accelerate innovation in the United States through high-risk, high-reward research in areas of critical national need.

===Shutdown===
"On November 18, 2011, President Obama signed the "Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012," that provided FY 2012 full-year appropriations through September 30, 2012 for the Department of Commerce. This bill included appropriations for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). However, there were no funds appropriated for the Technology Innovation Program. The Program is currently taking the necessary actions for an orderly shutdown."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nist.gov/technology-innovation-program|title=Technology Innovation Program|first=Jimmy|last=Nazario-Negron|date=May 9, 2012|website=NIST.gov|access-date=January 14, 2018}}</ref>
