Three (3) as described below.
1. To provide a balanced instrumentation award portfolio at diverse organizations, across varied research topics, and that serves to train and support a broadly inclusive science and engineering workforce across the entire nation, the MRI program requires that an organization may submit or be included as a funded subawardee/subcontractor[2] in no more than three MRI proposals. No more than two proposal submissions may be for instrument acquisition.
2. To promote instrumentation development, the MRI program continues to require that if an organization submits or is included as a funded subawardee/subcontractor in three MRI proposals, at least one of the three proposals must be for instrument development. NSF reserves the right to carefully examine development proposals to ensure that they meet the requirements for this proposal type (Section II), and that submission limits have not been exceeded.
Note: For the purposes of the MRI Program, proposals must be for either acquisition or development. Please see Section II: Program Description, for information on characteristics of acquisition and development proposals.
[2] An unfunded collaboration does not count against the submission limit.

Eligible institutions may receive consecutive but not concurrent Initiation awards. Eligible institutions may receive STEEP, Collaborative Partnership, and TCUP Research Experiences for Undergraduates (TREU) funding concurrently with Initiation awards. Only those institutions that have received an Initiation or Phase I award are eligible to propose under STEEP.
For Fiscal Year 2008, proposals are being solicited in six EHR programs that advance I3 goals: CREST, ITEST, MSP, Noyce, RDE, and TCUP. Given the focus on institutional integration, an institution may submit only one proposal to the I3 competition in only one program.
A track for Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3) is included in this solicitation.
I3 is an integrative, cross-cutting effort within the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR)
and all proposals submitted to I3 through the programs listed above have a common due date and distinct
eligibility criteria. |
