è  NSF Major Instrumentation Grant (MRI)
 

MRI is designed to increase access to scientific and engineering equipment for research and research training in our Nation's organizations of higher education, research museums, and non-profit research organizations. The MRI program encourages the development and acquisition of research instrumentation for shared inter- and/or intra-organizational use and in concert with private sector partners. This program assists in the acquisition/development of major research instrumentation often too costly to fund through other NSF programs. For proposals over $2 million, requests must be for the acquisition of a single instrument. For proposals ≤ $2 million, investigators may seek support for instrument development or acquisition of a single instrument, a large system of instruments, or multiple instruments sharing a common or specific research focus.
