NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI)

NSF's Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program provides funds to purchase major research equipment that is too costly for support through other NSF programs. Awards range from $100,000 to $2 million. UIC is restricted by NSF to three (3) MRI submissions. One (1) proposal must be solely for the development of instrumentation. The two (2) remaining proposals can be for either the acquisition or development of instrumentation.

Please review the following administrative resources prior to applying for this limited competition.
