This workspace is used for PIs interested in submitting to the NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program. The goal of the NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program is to increase access to shared-use/multi-user instrumentation for scientific and engineering research and training. NSF MRI awards are intended to be a capacity-building program and to enhance research training of students who will become the next generation of instrument users, designers, and builders. The Program supports three different types of proposals: Track 1, Track 2, and Track 3, as described here: NSF-23-519. 

PIs must create their own SurveyMonkey account in order to proceed with submission.

This portal requires information about the PI in addition to department and contact information, including the 10-digit USC ID#, Gender, and Ethnicity. Please have this material prepared before beginning this application.
