    The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is creating a new group called the Methane Plume Remote Sensing Measurements Consortium. This group will bring together agencies, businesses, and researchers to improve the detection and measurement of methane gas emissions using remote sensing technology. They aim to enhance trust in data by developing better standards and strategies. Those interested in joining the Consortium can apply and, if selected, will need to sign a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).

    Simple Explanation

    The Methane Plume Remote Sensing Measurements Consortium is like a team of helpers from different places working together with special tools to find and count how much of the invisible gas called methane is in the air, so everyone can trust the results.

    The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is setting up a new program called the Dietary Supplement Laboratory Quality Assurance Program (DSQAP) Consortium. This program aims to improve the accuracy and safety of dietary supplements by developing better testing and measurement methods. NIST is inviting organizations to join the Consortium by sharing their expertise, like analytical testing skills or unique industry knowledge, on a voluntary basis. Participants will sign a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), though non-CRADA options exist for those unable to enter such agreements due to legal or governmental constraints.

    Simple Explanation

    NIST is starting a new team to help make dietary supplements safer by improving the tests for them. They want people who know a lot about supplements to join, and they'll all have to agree on certain rules to be part of the team.
