This NSF program funds the operation of national user research facilities—large, specialized labs (high magnetic fields, synchrotron radiation, neutron scattering, nanofabrication) that serve the broad scientific community. It is for organizations that already run or are positioned to operate such a facility, not for ordinary small businesses seeking working capital or R&D money. If you are not operating a specialized shared research facility, do not bother applying.

NSF program supporting the operation of national user research facilities with specialized instrumentation (high magnetic fields, synchrotron radiation, neutron scattering, nanofabrication) open to the broad scientific community. Eligibility is unrestricted, so any entity—including small businesses—may apply; funds support facility operations, user services, and related education/outreach.
The National Facilities program supports the operation of national user facilities: National Facilities areresearch facilities with specialized instrumentation available to the scientific research community in general and the materials research community in particular.These facilities provide unique research capabilities that can be located at only a few highly specialized laboratories in the Nation. They provide open user service for scientists and engineers from a broad range of disciplines including biology, chemistry, geosciences, materials research. and physics. Theyinclude facilities and resources for research using high magnetic fields, ultraviolet and x-ray synchrotron radiation, neutron scattering, and nanofabrication. Theyserve as science and technology-related resources and experiences for students. Theyconduct student and teacher education, general public awareness activities, curriculum development, and educational research.
