NSF MID-SCALE RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM: Briefing presented by Kelsey Hassevoort, PhD, Managing Director, Research Universities Practice at McAllister & Quinn

Transform Mines research campus with this funding opportunity for research instrumentation and equipment. This webinar presented by McAllister & Quinn will provide a program briefing of NSF’s Mid-Scale solicitation. Born out of the National Science Foundation’s 10 Big Ideas, the NSF Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure-1 and -2 (Mid-Scale RI-1 and RI-2) programs support the design and implementation of research infrastructure — including equipment, cyberinfrastructure, large-scale datasets and personnel — whose total project costs fall between $400,000 and $20 million (Mid-Scale RI-1) and $20 and $100 million (Mid-Scale RI-2). This webinar will walk through both programs, including program officer and network intelligence, awardee analysis, and teaming and positioning recommendations.

Topics to be covered include:

• Overview of the NSF Mid-Scale RI-1 and RI-2 programs and funding scope
• Award and awardee analysis, including geographic analysis, teaming recommendations, and awarded PI profile
• Strategic intelligence from program officials and agency experts
• Key takeaways and actionable recommendations
