On Thursday, September 19, 2024, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) will host a virtual town hall outreach webinar with information about the latest Mid-scale Research Infrastructure funding opportunity. The session will begin at 2:30 p.m. EST and provide general information followed by a Q&A.
The NSF Mid-scale Research Infrastructure (Mid-scale RI) programs provide an agile, NSF-wide process to fund design or implementation of experimental research capabilities in the mid-scale range, between the Major Research Instrumentation program upper limit ($4 million) and Major Multi-user Facilities lower threshold (currently $100 million).
The new solicitation for the Mid-scale RI-1 program has a deadline of November 18, 2024, for preliminary proposals. The program funds projects with a total cost from $4 million up to but not including $20 million and is one of two NSF-wide funding opportunities that span the mid-scale range.
