Opportunity Information: Apply for 10 552
The Instrumentation for Materials Research Major Instrumentation Projects (IMR MIP) program offers funding for the design and construction of significant instruments valued between 4 million and 20 million. This includes various types of instrumentation, particularly focusing on coherent light sources for research and development (RD) proposals in Fiscal Year 2010. The program features three award types:
1. **Research and Development (RD) Awards**: These support the development of major instruments, addressing critical technical issues. 2. **Conceptual and Engineering Design (CED) Awards**: These funds are for the engineering design phase of the instrument. 3. **Construction (CNST) Awards**: Available only after the engineering design is completed and approved, these awards allow funding for the construction phase.
The program does not cover operational costs, which must be provided by the host facility or institution. For FY 2010, approximately 7 to 10 million is expected to be allocated for new projects. Up to two RD projects may receive funding of 1 to 4 million annually for up to five years, with two CED awards potentially providing up to 2 million each for three years, and one CNST award could be funded at 1 to 4 million per year for a maximum of five years.Apply for 10 552

- Organization Limit Proposals may only be submitted by the following IMR MIP Proposals may be submitted by colleges or universities in the United States. NSF does not normally support research or educational activities by scientists employed by other Federal agencies or Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs). However, a scientist, engineer, or educator who holds a joint appointment with a university and an FFRDC may submit proposals through the university. Such an individual may receive support if he/she is a faculty member of the university even if part of his/her salary is provided by the Federal agency. Under unusual circumstances, a Federal research laboratory or FFRDC may submit a proposal directly to NSF for example, if such an institution provides unique capabilities which can be made available to members of the university community through an NSF award. NSF support will not be made available to support activities which are the normal responsibility of the Federal laboratory or FFRDC. Interested Principal Investigators (PIs) at a Federal laboratory or an FFRDC should contact the cognizant program officer named in this Solicitation before preparing a proposal in response to this Solicitation. Awards involving industrial laboratories are only made if the industrial laboratory partners with a university and all funds are awarded to the university partner, not the industrial laboratory.
