; and (2) develop methods and resources required for testing an evaluation of safe and appropriate uses of composite materials for infrastructure, including— (A) conditioning protocols, procedures and models; (B) screening and acceptance tools; and (C) minimum allowable design data sets that can be converted into design tools. (b) Standards coordination The Secretary, acting through the Director, shall assure that the appropriate Institute staff consult regularly with standards developers, members of the composites industry, institutions of higher education, and other stakeholders in order to facilitate the adoption of standards for use of composite materials in infrastructure that are based on the research and testing results and other information developed by the Institute. 309. Enabling the future bioeconomy The Secretary, acting through the Director, shall continue to support the research and development of engineering biology, including through— (1) building up NIST’s core capabilities in measurement science supporting synthetic biology by investing in foundational measurement tools; (2) delivering the necessary measurement methods, standards and related services required to impart confidence in emerging engineering biology capabilities
