New biomanufacturing center and training funds
NIST would pick one non‑Federal partner within 180 days to run a national biopharma Center of Excellence. Only public‑private partnerships, colleges, or consortia could apply. The Center would set intellectual property rules before operations. The bill would authorize $120 million for 2026, subject to later appropriation. Money could support facility construction, collaborative research to scale U.S. production, and workforce training. The Center would improve manufacturing science, standards, and supply chains, and share best practices with agencies. Selection would weigh ability to meet goals, past training results, links to industry clusters, speed to operate, and co‑investment. Key terms like biomanufacturing and institution of higher education would be defined.
