NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program
The Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program (MRI Program Website) increases access to multi-user scientific and engineering instrumentation for research and research training in our Nation's higher education institutions and not-for-profit scientific/engineering research organizations. An MRI award supports the acquisition of a multi-user research instrument that is commercially available through direct purchase from a vendor or for the personnel costs and equipment that are required for the development of an instrument with new capabilities, thereby advancing instrumentation capabilities and enhancing expertise for instrument design and fabrication at academic institutions. More Information
Please attend an MRI virtual town hall meeting for information and to have your questions answered on the program. The webinars will be held on October 3 and 4 from 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. (EDT). Register here
