From [https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/john-kasich-assets/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Fact-Sheet-Commerce-1.pdf Kasich’s “Dismantling Washington: the Commerce Department Factsheet”]

'''Link Basic and Applied Science to Put New Ideas to Work and to Create Jobs:''' The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a powerhouse of scientific know-how, with strong industry relationships via its standards-setting work. Additionally, the National Technical Information Services (NTIS) collects and disseminates scientific and technical information from government-funded research to expand knowledge. To help get new ideas out of the lab and into the marketplace—a longtime priority of Gov. Kasich—he would merge NIST and NTIS with the basic science research functions of the National Science Foundation. This new combined science center would create a well-aligned pipeline from basic research, through applied research and into industry, while also providing a robust platform for disseminating new breakthroughs. NIST’s programs in support of manufacturers would be separated and merged with the Small Business Administration to provide these job creators a more seamless one-stop experience for the support they need.
