It’s time to start the NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) internal process.  This is the initial call for mini proposals to determine which PI’s will submit full proposals.

DEADLINES

August 5 – Mini proposals are due.  Limit 3 pages. Submit mini proposals to researchadministration@missouristate.edu

These proposals must clearly describe the instrumentation being proposed, the PI’s and co-PIs involved, a cost estimate for the instrument and a cost estimate for installation and annual upkeep for the instrument.  If there are room renovations required for the instrument those need to be disclosed in this proposal.  The PI must also indicate where the instrument will reside.

August 6 – The ORA will distribute the proposals to the Deans.  Deans will choose the top two by August 13th.

August 14th – ORA will notify all who submitted mini proposals of the final decision.

The NSF full proposal submission deadline window is October 15, 2024, through November 15, 2024.  The final deadline to have the full, completed proposal and internal approvals to your ORA representative is November 12.

Please contact your corresponding ORA Representative if you have any questions/comments.  https://ora.missouristate.edu/contact.htm
