NSF Facility and Instrumentation Request Process (FIRP)

A revised version of the Facility and Instrumentation Request Process (FIRP) solicitation was published by NSF on 3 July 2023.  The solicitation describes the mechanism by which the research community can propose projects that require access to facilities and instrumentation sponsored by the Facilities for Atmospheric Research and Education (FARE) Program in the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS).  Specialized FARE instrumentation and facilities include the Lower Atmosphere Observing Facilities (LAOF) and the Community Instruments and Facilities (CIF).  For more information, please contact Dr. Shree Mishra, NSF FARE Program Director  (sumishra@nsf.gov).
