Advanced Manufacturing Partnership National Program Office - The Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP) National Program Office (NPO) will be housed at the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology. The NPO is established to strengthen advanced manufacturing through improved technology transfer and industry partnerships focused on innovative manufacturing technologies.
Launched by President Obama in June 2011, the AMP was established on the recommendation of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) in a report issue that same month. AMP is led by Dow Chemical Company President, Chairman, and CEO Andrew Liveris, and MIT President Susan Hockfield.
The AMP National Program Office will include participation from all federal agencies involved in U.S. manufacturing to support interagency coordination of advanced manufacturing programs and to provide a link to the growing number of private-sector partnerships between manufacturers, universities, state and local governments, and other manufacturing-related organizations.
The NPO mandate is to satisfy the dual need characterized in the PCAST report, that is:
To convene and enable a significant number of AMP Private-Public Partnerships. These partnerships are to be led by industry with engagement from academia
To create an integrated “whole of government” advanced manufacturing initiative to facilitate ongoing collaboration and information sharing across federal agencies.
