that provide authentic pathways into the research enterprise and broaden the participation of individuals from groups underrepresented in astronomy. Partnerships must involve institutions seeking to create opportunities for student and faculty research that
will increase the recruitment, retention, and success of these individuals.<br>

<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Summary</span></strong>: The Major Research Instrumentation Program 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.<br>

Funding Opportunity Number: 23-526<br>
Full Proposal Deadline: Mar 01, 2023<br>
Summary: The Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) program invests in coordinated campus-level cyberinfrastructure improvements, innovation, integration, and engineering for science applications and distributed research projects. Learning and workforce development
(LWD) in cyberinfrastructure is explicitly addressed in the program. Projects that help overcome disparities in cyber-connectivity associated with geographic location, and thereby advancing the geography of innovation and enabling populations based in these
locales to become more nationally competitive in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research and education are particularly encouraged. Science-driven requirements are the primary motivation for any proposed activity.<br>

<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Summary</span></strong>: The S-STEM program provides institutions of higher education (IHEs) with funds for scholarships to encourage and enable domestic low-income students with academic ability and demonstrated
financial need to enter the US workforce following completion of associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degrees in S-STEM eligible disciplines. Funds also enable IHEs to establish a coherent ecosystem of effective evidence-based practices and to assess the
effects of those practices and other factors on retention, student success, academic/career pathways, and degree attainment, including transfer, and entry into the US workforce or graduate programs in STEM.
