Quantum Instrumentation for Science and Engineering Act

This bill would change the National Quantum Initiative Act to add a goal of improving research facilities and access to research resources for quantum information science, technology, and engineering. It would require the Director of the National Science Foundation to award grants to colleges, universities, and eligible nonprofit organizations, or groups of them, to upgrade research facilities and improve access to equipment and instruments. Grant money could be used to upgrade or add research resources, expand access to equipment through information sharing, scheduling, education, and training, including hands-on learning for students at community and technical colleges, and pay professional staff who run and improve these resources. Applicants would apply to the National Science Foundation as the Director requires.
