Title
Major Research Instrumentation Program: (MRI) Instrument Acquisition or Development
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program (MRI Program Website) serves to increase access to multi-user scientific and
engineering instrumentation for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education and not-for-profit
scientific/engineering research organizations. An MRI award supports the acquisition of a multi-user research instrument that is commercially
available through direct purchase from a vendor, or for the personnel costs and equipment that are required for the development of an
instrument with new capabilities, thereby advancing instrumentation capabilities and enhancing expertise for instrument design and fabrication
at academic institutions. MRI instruments are, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs.
MRI provides support to acquire critical research instrumentation without which advances in fundamental science and engineering research
may not otherwise occur. MRI also provides support to obtain next-generation research instruments by developing instruments with new
capabilities that open new opportunities to advance the frontiers in science and engineering research. Additionally, an MRI award is expected
to enhance research training of students who will become the next generation of instrument users, designers and builders.
An MRI proposal may request from NSF up to $4 million for either acquisition or development of a research instrument. Each performing
organization may submit in revised "Tracks" as defined below, with no more than two (2) submissions in Track 1 and no more than one (1)
submission in Track 2. For the newly defined Track 3, no more than one (1) submission per competition is permitted. As a result, it is now
possible for an institution to submit up to four MRI proposals within the Track limits as described above.
Track 1: Track 1 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than $100,0001 and less than $1,400,000.
Track 2: Track 2 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $1,400,000 up to and including
$4,000,000.
Track 3: Track 3 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $100,0001 and less than or equal to
$4,000,000 that include the purchase, installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment and instrumentation to conserve or
reduce the consumption of helium. Institutions may submit no more than one Track 3 proposal. Submission of a Track 3
proposal does not impact limits that apply for Track 1 and Track 2 proposals.
Cost sharing requirements for new awards in the MRI Program are waived for a period of 5 years beginning with the FY 2023 MRI
competition. Institutional submission limits for Track 1, Track 2 and Track 3 proposals remain.
The MRI Program especially seeks broad representation of groups, institutions, and geographic regions that are underrepresented in STEM
disciplines. Proposals from women, underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities and early-career PIs are encouraged, as are
proposals that benefit early-career researchers and proposals with PIs from geographically under-served regions, including EPSCoR
jurisdictions. Additionally, proposals are encouraged from under-resourced institutions, including from emerging research institutions, where
MRI can significantly build capacity for research.
1 Track 1 proposals requesting funds from NSF less than $100,000 will be accepted only from: a) eligible performing organizations requesting
instrumentation supporting research in the disciplines of mathematics or social, behavioral and economic sciences; or b)

Submission Limits
Two (2) in Track 1, one (1) in Track 2 and one (1) in Track 3 as described below. Potential PIs are advised to contact their sponsored projects
office well in advance of the MRI submission window regarding processes used to select proposals for submission.
The MRI program requires that an MRI-eligible organization may, as a performing organization, submit or be included as a significantly
funded2 subawardee in no more than three MRI proposals in Tracks 1 and 2 as defined below, with no more than two (2) submissions in Track
1 and no more than one (1) submission in Track 2. One (1) additional submission is permitted in the newly defined Track 3. As a result, it is
now possible for an institution to submit up to four MRI proposals within the Track limits described above.
Any MRI proposal may request support for either the acquisition or development of a research instrument or an upgrade of an existing
research instrument. Within their submission limit, NSF strongly encourages an organization to submit proposals for innovative development
projects.
Track 1: Track 1 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $100,0001 and less than $1,400,000.
Track 2: Track 2 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $1,400,000 up to and including
$4,000,000.
Track 3 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $100,0001 and less than or equal to
$4,000,000 for requests that include the purchase,

Title
Partnerships for Innovation (PFI)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) Program within the Division of Translational Impacts (TI) offers researchers from all disciplines of science and engineering funded by NSF the opportunity to perform translational research and technology development, catalyze partnerships and accelerate the transition of discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace for societal benefit.
PFI has five broad goals, as set forth by the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act of 2017 (“the Act”, S.3084 — 114th Congress; Sec. 602. Translational Research Grants): (1) identifying and supporting NSF-sponsored research and technologies that have the potential for accelerated commercialization; (2) supporting prior or current NSF-sponsored investigators, institutions of higher education, and non-profit organizations that partner with an institution of higher education in undertaking proof-of-concept work, including the development of technology prototypes that are derived from NSF-sponsored research and have potential market value; (3) promoting sustainable partnerships between NSF-funded institutions, industry, and other organizations within academia and the private sector with the purpose of accelerating the transfer of technology; (4) developing multi-disciplinary innovation ecosystems which involve and are responsive to the specific needs of academia and industry; (5) providing professional development, mentoring, and advice in entrepreneurship, project management, and technology and business development to innovators.
In addition, PFI responds to the mandate set by Congress in Section 601(c)(3) of the Act (Follow-on Grants), to support prototype or proof-of-concept development work by participants with innovations that because of the early stage of development are not eligible to participate in a Small Business Innovation Research Program or a Small Business Technology Transfer Program.
Finally, PFI seeks to implement the mandate set by Congress in Section 102(c)(a) of the Act (Broader Impacts Review Criterion Update) by enhancing partnerships between academia and industry in the United States, and expanding the participation of women and individuals from underrepresented groups in innovation, technology translation, and entrepreneurship.
This solicitation offers two broad tracks for proposals in pursuit of the aforementioned goals:
The Technology Translation (PFI-TT) track offers the opportunity to translate prior NSF-funded research results in any field of science or engineering into technological innovations with promising commercial potential and societal impact. PFI-TT supports commercial potential demonstration projects for academic research outputs in any NSF-funded science and engineering discipline. This demonstration is achieved through proof-of-concept, prototyping, technology development and/or scale-up work. Concurrently, students and postdoctoral researchers who participate in PFI-TT projects receive education and leadership training in innovation and entrepreneurship. Successful PFI-TT projects generate technology-driven commercialization outcomes that address societal needs.
The Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) track seeks to achieve the same goals as the PFI-TT track by supporting instead complex, multi-faceted technology development projects that are typically beyond the scope of a single researcher or institution and require a multi-organizational, interdisciplinary, synergistic collaboration. A PFI-RP project requires the creation of partnerships between academic researchers and third-party organizations such as industry, non-academic research organizations, federal laboratories, public or non-profit technology transfer organizations or other universities. Such partnerships are needed to conduct use-inspired research on a stand-alone larger project toward commercialization and societal impact. In the absence of such synergistic partnership, the project’s likelihood for success would be minimal.
The intended outcomes of both PFI-TT and PFI-RP tracks are: a) the commercialization of new intellectual property derived from NSF-funded research outputs; b) the creation of new or broader collaborations with industry (including increased corporate sponsored research); c) the licensing of NSF-funded research outputs to third party corporations or to start-up companies funded by a PFI team; and d) the training of future innovation and entrepreneurship leaders.
WEBINARS: Webinars will be held to answer questions about the solicitation. Registration will be available on the NSF Partnerships for Innovation website (https://www.nsf.gov/PFI). Potential proposers and their partners are encouraged to attend.
More Information
https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2023/nsf23538/nsf23538.htm
Submission Limits
There is no limit on the number of PFI-TT proposals an organization may submit to the deadlines of this solicitation. However, an organization may not submit more than one (1) new or resubmitted PFI-RP proposal to a deadline of this solicitation. This eligibility constraint will be strictly enforced. If an organization exceeds this limit, the first PFI-RP proposal received will be accepted, and the remainder will be returned without review. An organization may not receive more than two (2) awards from a submission deadline of this solicitation.

CyberCorps(R) Scholarship for Service (SFS)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
Cyberspace has transformed the daily lives of people. Society’s overwhelming reliance on cyberspace, however, has exposed the system’s
fragility and vulnerabilities: corporations, agencies, national infrastructure, and individuals continue to suffer cyber-attacks. Achieving a truly
secure cyberspace requires addressing both challenging scientific and engineering problems involving many components of a system, and
vulnerabilities that stem from human behaviors and choices. Examining the fundamentals of security and privacy as a multidisciplinary subject
can lead to fundamentally new ways to design, build, and operate cyber systems, protect existing infrastructure, and motivate individuals to
learn about cybersecurity. The Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014, as amended by the National Defense Authorization Acts for 2018 and
2021, authorizes the National Science Foundation, in coordination with the Office of Personnel Management and the Department of Homeland
Security, to offer a scholarship program to recruit and train the next generation of cybersecurity professionals to meet the needs of the cybersecurity mission for federal, state, local, and tribal governments.
The goals of the CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) program are aligned with the U.S. strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity
workforce. These goals are to increase the quantity of new entrants to the government cyber workforce, to increase the national capacity for
the education of cybersecurity professionals, to increase national research and development capabilities in critical information infrastructure
protection, and to strengthen partnerships between institutions of higher education and relevant employment sectors. The SFS program
welcomes proposals to establish or to continue scholarship programs in cybersecurity. All scholarship recipients must work after graduation for
a federal, state, local, or tribal Government organization in a position related to cybersecurity for a period equal to the length of the
scholarship. A proposing institution must provide clearly documented evidence of a strong existing academic program in cybersecurity. Such
evidence can include ABET accreditation in cybersecurity; a designation by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland
Security as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE), in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO) or in Research (CAER); or equivalent evidence documenting a strong program in cybersecurity.
The SFS program also supports efforts leading to an increase in the ability of the United States higher education enterprise to produce
cybersecurity professionals. Funding opportunities in this area are provided via the Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace - Education
Designation (SaTC-EDU) and other programs (see the section “Increasing National Capacity in Cybersecurity Education” for more details.)

This program does not fund clinical trials research. Strong proposals will incorporate particularly creative and pioneering approaches to basic, translational, and applied biomedical research. Candidates whose work is based on biomedical principles but who bring in concepts and theories from more diverse fields are encouraged to apply.
Ideas with the potential to produce an unusually high impact are encouraged. Selection of the successful candidates will be based on a detailed description of the work that the applicant proposes to undertake, evaluations of the candidate’s performance, and notable past accomplishments, including honors, awards, and publications. In evaluating the candidates, the National Advisory Committee gives considerable weight to both the project proposal and the researcher, including evidence that the candidate is a successful independent investigator and has the skill set needed to carry out their high-impact proposal.
Funding from the NIH, other government sources, and project grants from nonprofit associations do not pose a conflict with the Pew scholars program. If you have questions concerning eligibility, please contact Kara Coleman, project director, Pew Biomedical Programs at 215-575-4925 in advance of applying.
