The National Quantum Initiative (NQI) provides an umbrella under which a number of government agencies develop and operate programs related to improving the climate for quantum science and technology in the US. These agencies include the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of Energy (DOE). Under the authority of the NQI, the NSF and the DOE have established new research Centers and Institutes, and NIST has established The Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C), a consortium of industrial, academic, and governmental entities.
