Resumen de Recent Trends in Chemistry Instrumentation Requests by Undergraduate Institutions to NSF’s Major Research Instrumentation Program
Proposals submitted by chemistry departments over the past five years to the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program at NSF have been analyzed to determine the types of instruments funded by MRI, and the success rate of MRI proposals submitted to NSF from undergraduate institutions. We have also compared MRI with the Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) Program in terms of the funding rate and types of instruments supported by each so that faculty may determine which program is more suitable for them.
