Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure Incubator Q&A Office Hours

NSF’s newly released Dear Colleague Letter: Mid-scale Research Infrastructure (MSRI) Incubators and Conferences for STEM Education Research with a Focus on Education Equity is an exciting opportunity for research-oriented education organizations around the country to catalyze innovative infrastructure proposals. Projects may request up to $500,000 for two years to convene partners, identify community research infrastructure needs, establish collaborative mechanisms, and develop plans for future Mid-scale Research Infrastructure competitions.

To answer questions pertaining to the DCL, NSF will be hosting two Zoom Q&A office hour sessions with program officers. We encourage you to watch a recording of an informational webinar about the MSRI Incubator program here before attending these office hours.

There are two separate application deadlines for incubator proposals: September 1, 2022, and March 1, 2023. These office hours will focus on answering last-minute questions for your September application, or help you decide about applying in March. If you have never submitted an NSF proposal before, we suggest you download the NSF Prospective New Awardee Guide to get an early start on all the information needed to submit a proposal.

If you have additional questions about the program, please contact NSF at edumidsc@nsf.gov.
