NSF invests in mid-scale research infrastructure
NSF is investing in 10 mid-scale research infrastructure projects totaling $127 million. These infrastructure projects include designing next generation radars, superconducting magnets, ocean bottom seismographs, and internet security. Other projects include developing tools for studying the online behavior of people and the platforms they use, learning about underground ecosystems, and fabricating new types of integrated circuits to enable research to advance semiconductor technology.
Infrastructure projects funded in NSF EPSCoR jurisdictions include:
- Implementation of a National Silicon Carbide Research Fabrication Facility, led by the University of Arkansas
- A Deep Soil Ecotron Facility to Explore Belowground Communities and Ecosystem Processes, led by University of Idaho
- EduceLab: Infrastructure for Next Generation Heritage Science, led by the University of Kentucky
