Description:
The Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program serves to increase access to multi-user scientific and engineering instrumentation for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education and not-for-profit scientific/engineering research organizations. An MRI award supports the acquisition or development of a multi-user research instrument that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs.
An MRI proposal may request up to $4 million for either acquisition or development of a research instrument. Harvard may submit up to three proposals in the “tracks” as defined below, with no more than two submissions in Track 1 and no more than one submission in Track 2.
Track 1: Proposals requesting funds from NSF greater than or equal to $100,000* and less than $1,000,000.
Track 2: Proposals requesting funds from NSF greater than or equal to $1,000,000 up to and including $4,000,000.
Cost-sharing of precisely 30% of the total project cost is required.
*Proposals that request funds from NSF less than $100,000 may also be accepted from any MRI-eligible organization for the disciplines of mathematics or social, behavioral and economic sciences.
