Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: The Division of Chemistry of the National Science Foundation (NSF) , under the umbrella of the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program (CRIF), has provided support to research institutions and consortia for the establishment of regional or national instrumentation facilities, the purchase of departmental research instrumentation, and the development of state-of-the-art equipment. With the prior solicitation (05-555), the instrumentation facilities component of the CRIF Program was expanded to address the growing importance of cyber-enabled chemistry in the research endeavor. The Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Cyberinfrastructure and Research Facilities (CRIF:CRF) Program provides funding to build a foundation for research facilities with unique capabilities in the chemical sciences. This is structured to enable NSF, throughits Division of Chemistry, to respond to a variety of needs for infrastructure to support basic research and education in chemistry. NSF programs that support cyberinfrastructure, instrumentation, and facilities for other fields of research are listed in the solicitation. For FY06, CRIF:CRF is soliciting proposals ONLY for the cyberinfrastructure component of this program. Moreover, preference will be given to proposals that are complementary to the projects represented by the FY05 awards (CHE-0535542; CHE-0535640; CHE-0535656; CHE-0535710). Facilities proposals will not be accepted in FY06.
