Dear Colleague:

 

You’re receiving this note because at some point in the past you were awarded an NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) award and/or are presently managing instrumentation developed or acquired with support provided by an NSF MRI award.

 

This note is a reminder that, even if the award itself closed some time ago, research products resulting from continuing use of the instrumentation acquired or constructed via an NSF MRI award should continue to acknowledge the award in an appropriate manner for the lifetime of the instrumentation.  This applies to any research products resulting from the use of the instrumentation, including that by users from outside of your own research group, as may be the case with user facilities that include such instrumentation.

 

While I realize that this may not be something you have paid much attention to in the past, please, take particular care to include appropriate acknowledgments in scientific publications, presentations, etc. resulting from the use of NSF MRI-funded instrumentation from now on.

 

Thank you and with best regards,

 

Slava
