NSF RFI on mid-scale infrastructure

 @James Myers

  • NSF MRI capped at 4m; MREFC (e.g., Neon, etc) at 100m

  • RFI for middle ground (4 < x < 100) could be NDS or NDS slice

  • Can we use this as a vehicle to fund some aspect of NDS?

  • Due in December sometime

  • These are things we need to flesh out even if there isn't immediate funding.

  • Are there other proposal/opportunities?

    • IMLS needs letter of support

    • Cybersecurity proposal participation

    • Metabolomics workbench (already in)

    • Industry contracts

  • Sounds like this is worth pursuing
