Common use of Objectives of Program Clause in Contracts

Objectives of Program. 2.1 NIST is conducting research and development to create methodologies for measuring the image fidelity of contactless fingerprint capture devices. The objective of the Contactless Fingerprint Capture Device Measurement Research Program (“Program”) is to produce open testing methods, metrics, and artifacts that will support the certification of these types of devices for inclusion on Government Certified Products Lists (“Purpose”). NIST does not evaluate commercial products under this Agreement and will not endorse any product, software or service used by NIST for this Program. 2.2 The research and development activities which will be undertaken by this Program will be located at NIST’s facility and are detailed in the Research Plan in Appendix A, incorporated herein by reference. The research under this Agreement shall be performed on a reasonable efforts basis. 2.3 The research to be conducted under this Agreement does not involve human subjects within the meaning of 15 CFR Part 27, or any animal subjects within the meaning of 7 USC §2131 et seq. and 9 CFR Parts 1, 2, and 3. 2.4 In order to further the objectives of this Program, NIST intends to enter into the same terms and conditions under separate cooperative research and development agreements with other device manufacturers and organizations.
