NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI): Limited Submission


While this program has historically funded instrumentation and equipment for the natural and physical sciences and engineering, the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) directorate is participating in this solicitation, and to the extent that you have equipment needs, this is a potential place to seek funding. As usual, let us know if we can help with a preproposal. The deadline, unfortunately, is very close.

The National Science Foundation has announced the 2012 Major Research Instrumentation program, which allows up to three lead proposals per institution if at least one of them is for development of instrumentation.  The MRI program also allows up to three non-lead or subaward proposals per "significantly funded" non-lead institution if at least one subaward proposal is for instrumentation development.

Award:  Up to $4 million; duration up to three years for acquisition proposals and up to five years for development proposals.
