For anybody that hasn’t seen it already, NSF has released their solicitation for this year’s MRI program.

As usual, GT may submit up to three proposals to the program, two for instrument acquisition and a third for instrument development.
This year, the NSF anticipates 175 awards in the range of $100k – $4M, with a total of $90M in anticipated funding for the program. Proposals requesting greater than $1M will receive a higher degree of review, and compete for $35M of the $90M.
If you are planning a proposal with a computational component, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We can help with the configuration, equipment budget and facilities boilerplate.
