Last year, the Office of Research, Innovation, & Economic Development developed a revised internal process for handing submissions to the NSF Major Research Instrumentation program. That process has been updated slightly for the current year (January 2018 submission deadline). Full details and deadlines can be found here.
Letters of intent (LOIs) are due on July 20, 2017. As with last year, PIs must communicate their intention to apply to their college Associate Dean for Research (ADR) prior to submitting a LOI. Each college will be limited to three acquisition proposals for internal competition (no limit for development proposals). Each College Research Office is responsible for determining their college’s equipment priorities and submitting their college's LOIs.
