... research discoveries are translated into manufacturing capabilities and cutting-edge products outside of the United States. In countries known for their manufacturing strength, such as Germany and China, this transition is facilitated by coordinated 1    National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2018, Manufacturing USA Annual Report, FY 2017, NIST AMS 600-3, August, https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.AMS.600-3.

... .9 AMP was charged with identifying collaborative opportunities among industry, academia, and government that would catalyze development and investment in emerging technologies, policies, and partnerships, with the poten tial to transform and reinvigorate advanced manufacturing in the United States. Its first set of recommendations, "Report to the President on Capturing Domestic Competitive Advantage in Advanced Manufacturing," was issued in July 2012.10 In the 2012 report, PCAST recommended the establishment of a national network of public–private partnerships (institutes)

... To date, DoD has invested $600 million directly in its Manufacturing USA institutes with the understanding that the initial federal investment included one time, start-up funding to establish the institutes within a period of 5 to 7 years. They were established by DoD through its Defense-wide Manufacturing Science 11    Executive Office of the President, National Science and Technology Council, and Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office, 2013, National Network for Manufacturing Innovation: A Preliminary Design, Washington, DC.

... • ARM (Advanced Robotics Manufacturing) has the mission to create and then deploy robotic technology by integrating the diverse collection of industry practices and institutional knowledge across many disciplines -- sensor technologies, end-effector development, software and artificial intelligence, materials science, human and machine behavior modeling, and quality assurance -- to realize the promises of a robust manufacturing innovation ecosystem.

... For example, AIM Photonics, much like any leading-edge semiconductor hardware entity, is very capital intensive compared to the other institutes, with a more than $10 billion semiconductor fabrication facility at the SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany, New York, and a more than $100 million

... To better support these requirements, DoD has established its eight Manufac turing USA innovation institutes through its DMS&T program element within the ManTech program. The mission of the eight DoD established institutes addresses both commercial and defense manufacturing needs within specific, defense-­ relevant technology areas and receives active participation and support from the military departments and defense agencies.

... The panel topics were "Alternate Public–Private Partnership Models" and "International Pro grams in Advanced Manufacturing," which are summarized in Chapter 3. For breakouts I and II, the workshop participants met in separate conference rooms assigned to each stakeholder group (DoD, institutes, industry, academia, and other organizations)
From page 17...
... The focus for breakout III shifted to DoD's long-term engagement strategy for its Manufacturing USA institutes, with an assessment of the five goals in the cur rent DoD Manufacturing USA Strategy.22 For this process, the members of the five homogenous stakeholder groups were dispersed into five breakout rooms, resulting in a heterogeneous mix of stakeholders in each room. Using a decomposition of each of DoD's strategic goals on preprinted posters, the mixed stakeholder groups identified their perceptions of what DoD should keep doing, stop doing, and start doing for each decomposed goal.
