The Division of Materials Research is offering this grant to support the design and construction of major instrumentation projects, costing between $4 million and $20 million. This grant is for the purpose of developing critical tools for materials research, including coherent light sources, neutron/synchrotron beam lines, high field magnets, and detectors. In FY2010, emphasis is placed on coherent light sources for R&D proposals. The program offers three award types: Research and Development (R&D) to address technical issues, Conceptual and Engineering Design (CED) for instrument design, and Construction (CNST) for approved projects. This program does not cover operational costs. Approximately $7-10 million is anticipated for FY2010, funding specific numbers of R&D, CED, and CNST awards with varying durations and amounts.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | *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. |

| Description: | The Instrumentation for Materials Research – Major Instrumentation Projects (IMR-MIP) program in the Division of Materials Research provides support for the design and construction of major instruments costing more than $4 million??but??less than??$20 million. Such instruments may include, but are not limited to, key instrumentation for coherent light sources, neutron beam lines, synchrotron beam lines, high field magnets, and detectors.??While all types of instrumentation are encouraged, in FY2010, there will be an emphasis on coherent light sources for R&D proposals. The program supports three types of awards: Research and Development (R&D) awards, Conceptual and Engineering Design (CED) awards, and Construction (CNST) awards.??An R&D award will support the research and development of major instrumentation and address technical issues that are on the critical path of the engineering design of a major instrument. A CED award will enable the proposer to do the necessary engineering design of the instrument.?? A CNST proposal may only be submitted after a satisfactory engineering design of the instrument has been completed and has been approved by both the facility at which the instrument will be situated and by NSF.?? The program does not provide operating funds for projects it supports through this solicitation.?? Operational costs must be supported either by the facility or the institution??at which the instrument is located.?? It is anticipated that about $ 7-10 million may be available in FY 2010 for new Major Instrumentation Projects. Up to two R&D projects may be funded as a continuing??grant or as a cooperative agreement for a maximum of five years at about $1 to $4 million a year. Up to two CED awards may be funded for up to 3 years through continuing or standard grant, each award for a total of up to $ 2 million. ??Up to one CNST award may be funded through a cooperative agreement, for about $1 to $4 million per year for a maximum of 5 years. |
