Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program

NSF’s Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program catalyzes new knowledge and discoveries by empowering the nation’s scientists and engineers with state-of-the-art research instruments that are, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs. The program provides organizations with opportunities to acquire major instrumentation that supports the research and research training goals of the organization and that may be used by other researchers regionally or nationally. This session covers what makes for a competitive MRI proposal, and NSF plans to implement changes to the Program beginning with the FY 2023 MRI competition.
