Funded Participation SD-PPP MOdel

Jump To Section

Model Description

A funded participation SD-PPP is utilized to increase participation of subject matter experts in the standards development process. Often, startups, small or medium-size enterprises in new or niche technology areas, have limited resources to travel and participate in standards, or, the sector has not yet established enough resources to have as many subject matter experts who have longstanding knowledge and experience both in the field and in standards development. Both resource constraints can delay standards development or impact a balance of representation. For this to be a PPP, some funding for individuals to participate would need to come from the government but may also come from the private sector.
