NSF Mid-scale Research Infrastructure-1 outreach webinars. 11/4 and 11/5, 1:00-2:30 p.m. Eastern

Posted on by

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Mid-scale Research Infrastructure (Mid-scale RI) Big Idea is intended to provide an agile, Foundation-wide process to fund experimental research capabilities in the mid-scale range ($6 million to $100 million), between the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) and Major Facilities thresholds. Recently, the solicitation (NSF 21-505) for the Mid-scale RI-1 program (total project cost of $6 million up to but not including $20 million), one of two funding opportunities that span the mid-scale range, was published with a deadline of January 7, 2021 for preliminary proposals.


On Wednesday, November 4, 2020 and Thursday, November 5, 2020, NSF will host outreach webinars with information about the Mid-Scale RI-1 funding opportunity. Each session will begin at 1:00 p.m. EST and have two parts: a general Mid-scale RI-1 information session (1:00 p.m. -1:40 p.m. EST) with Q&A followed by Directorate-specific breakouts (1:45 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. EST) where more technical questions will be addressed. Information on Day 1 will be repeated on Day 2.

To access the main webinars and follow-on directorate-specific breakouts:
