Does a proposal between a university and a national laboratory count as a multi-institutional proposal?
No NSF funding may be provided to a national laboratory. If a proposal makes the case that the national laboratory can be an effective partner without such funding, the collaboration meets the intent of the solicitation. In this case, the national laboratory personnel may be listed as co-PIs or senior personnel, even though they are receiving no funds.
