Does MRI/MRI-R2 allow for acquisition of multiple instruments?
The MRI/MRI-R2 program does allow for requests of multiple instruments, as long as they share a common or specific research focus. The intent is to allow for instruments that complement each other when undertaking research programs, or for instruments that probe a particular question or set of related questions from different perspectives. The instruments should be thought of as a system that would otherwise be difficult to assemble through individual grants. Researchers utilizing the equipment are expected to require the entire set of instruments, rather than individual investigators needing only a specific instrument.
