Your real odds
Selection rates are not publicly available, and NIST research grants are technically rigorous enough that vague applications rarely survive review.
NIST funds applied research tied to measurement standards and engineering innovation, and awards are made on technical merit, so applicants without a clear measurement science angle are unlikely to be competitive.

Worth knowing
Reviewers are looking for a specific measurement gap or engineering challenge, so framing your work around that rather than a product or business outcome is what actually aligns with how these programs are evaluated.
