Deadline:
Sponsor Window -- January 1 to January 19, 2023
(If submitting on the last day of the window, 1/19/23, must be submitted by 5 p.m. Eastern)
Synopsis of Program from NSF:
The MRI Program serves to increase access to multi-user scientific and engineering instrumentation for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education and not-for-profit scientific/engineering research organizations. An MRI award supports the acquisition or development of a multi-user research instrument that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs.
MRI provides support to acquire critical research instrumentation without which advances in fundamental science and engineering research may not otherwise occur. MRI also provides support to develop next-generation research instruments that open new opportunities to advance the frontiers in science and engineering research. Additionally, an MRI award is expected to enhance research training of students who will become the next generation of instrument users, designers and builders.
An MRI proposal may request up to $4 million for either acquisition or development of a research instrument. Organizations may submit in Tracks as defined below, with no more than two submissions in Track 1 and no more than one submission in Track 2.
• Track 1: Track 1 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $100,000 and less than $1M.
• Track 2: Track 2 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $1M up to and including $4M.
Cost sharing of precisely 30% of the total project cost is required.
If you are interested in applying for the MRI program, please contact Kris Wolff at kwolff@fordham.edu.
Please also see NSF's Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure funding opportunity for larger purchases -- those over $4M and up to $20M. Pre-proposals are due on January 5, 2023 by 5pm, and full proposals are by invitation only, due May 5, 2023. The Mid-Scale RI opportunity is not limited in the number of pre-proposals Fordham may submit.

Deadlines:
Tracks 2 & 3 and Collaborative Planning Grants -- March 2, 2023 by 5pm Eastern
Track 1 -- March 29, 2023 by 5pm Eastern
Synopsis of Program from NSF:
The main goal of the S-STEM program is to enable low-income students with academic ability, talent or potential to pursue successful careers in promising STEM fields. Ultimately, the S-STEM program seeks to increase the number of academically promising low-income students who graduate with a S-STEM eligible degree and contribute to the American innovation economy with their STEM knowledge. Recognizing that financial aid alone cannot increase retention and graduation in STEM, the program provides awards to institutions of higher education (IHEs) not only to fund scholarships, but also to adapt, implement, and study evidence-based curricular and co-curricular1 activities that have been shown to be effective supporting recruitment, retention, transfer (if appropriate), student success, academic/career pathways, and graduation in STEM.
The S-STEM program encourages collaborations, including but not limited to partnerships among different types of institutions; collaborations of S-STEM eligible faculty, researchers, and academic administrators focused on investigating the factors that affect low-income student success (e.g., institutional, educational, behavioral and social science researchers); and partnerships among institutions of higher education and business, industry, local community organizations, national labs, or other federal or state government organizations, as appropriate.
Fordham may participate as a prime or subaward institution in only two submissions per deadline. If you are interested in applying for the S-STEM program, please contact Kris Wolff at kwolff@fordham.edu. |
