NSF-Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI)

Posted on by

Internal Limited Submission Deadline to the Office of Research Administration: Monday, November 28, 2016 at 5 pm.

NSF Deadline: January 11, 2017

The Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) serves to increase access to shared scientific and engineering instruments for research and research training in our Nation’s institutions of higher education, not-for-profit museums, science centers and scientific/engineering research organizations. The program provides organizations with opportunities to acquire major instrumentation that supports the research and research training goals of the organization and that may be used by other researchers regionally or nationally. 

Each MRI proposal may request support for the acquisition (Track 1) or development (Track 2) of a single research instrument for shared inter- and/or intra-organizational use.  Development efforts that leverage the strengths of private sector partners to build instrument development capacity at MRI submission-eligible organizations are encouraged.

Archaeology and Archaeometry

Deadline: December 1, 2016

The goal of the Archaeology Program is to fund research which furthers anthropologically relevant archaeological knowledge. In accordance with the National Science Foundation’s mission such research has the potential to provide fundamental scientific insight. While within the broad range of “archaeology” the focus is on projects judged to be significant from an anthropological perspective, the Program sets no priorities based on time period, geographic region or specific research topic.

Announcement of Publication Opportunities for NASA Researchers

Posted on by

In response to a 2013 request from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, directing science-funding agencies to develop plans to increase access to the results of federally-funded research. NASA has partnered with HHS to allow NASA-funded authors and co-authors to deposit copies of their peer-reviewed articles from scientific journal publications and associated data into the PubMed Central (PMC) publication repository.   Though not required under the current NASA award, we want to make this opportunity available to you to deposit any papers supported by NASA awards that were published / or accepted for publication on or after Oct. 1, 2015. 

Starting in Oct. 2016 you should contact nasa-openaccess@mail.nasa.gov for instructions on depositing the manuscripts into PubMed Central

Thank you,
