Amount: $100,000
Funding Agency: National Science Foundation
Title:
Application Deadline: Preliminary Proposals due January 7, 2021; Full Proposals due (if selected/invited) April 23, 2021
Purpose: 鈥淣SF-supported science and engineering research increasingly relies on cutting-edge infrastructure. With its Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program and Major Multi-user Facilities (Major Facilities) projects, NSF supports infrastructure projects at the lower and higher ends of infrastructure scales across science and engineering research disciplines. The Mid-scale Research Infrastructure Big Idea is intended to provide NSF with an agile, Foundation-wide process to fund experimental research capabilities in the mid-scale range between the MRI and Major Facilities thresholds. NSF defines Research Infrastructure (RI) as any combination of facilities, equipment, instrumentation, or computational hardware or software, and the necessary human capital in support of the same. Major facilities and mid-scale projects are subsets of research infrastructure. The NSF Mid-scale Research Infrastructure-1 Program (Mid-scale RI-1) supports the design or implementation of unique and compelling RI projects. Mid-scale RI-1 implementation projects may include any combination of equipment, instrumentation, cyberinfrastructure, broadly used large-scale datasets, and the commissioning and/or personnel needed to successfully complete the project, or the design efforts intended to lead to eventual implementation of a mid-scale class project. Mid-scale RI-1 design projects will include the design efforts intended to lead to eventual implementation of a mid-scale class RI project. Mid-scale RI-1 projects should fill a research community-defined scientific need or enable a national research priority to be met. Mid-scale RI-projects should also enable US researchers to remain competitive in a global research environment and involve the training of a diverse workforce engaged in the design and implementation of STEM infrastructure.鈥�
Amount: Implementation Projects are between $6 million 鈥� $20 million; Design Projects can be between$600,000 - $20 million.

Participating in Vaccine Research is now available as part of CITI鈥檚 COVID-19 training which already includes Remote Contact Tracing and COVID-19: Back to Campus courses. There are over 200 vaccines under development to combat COVID-19 and a need for thousands of volunteers to participate in trials in upcoming months. The Participating in Vaccine Research webinar covers the basics of what individuals should expect while participating in vaccine trials, their rights, essential questions they should ask before agreeing to participate, and how to find COVID-19 vaccine trials that are recruiting. -
