Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
Limited submission due 4 Oct | Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program NSF
The Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program serves to increase access to multi-user scientific and engineering instrumentation for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education and not-for-profit scientific/engineering research organizations. An MRI award supports the acquisition or development of a multi-user research instrument that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs. Please see the full solicitation for complete information about the opportunity conducted through the Research & Innovation Office. This is a limited submission opportunity; please submit your one-page summary and biosketch here by 4 October. This applies if you are a >=20% funded subaward on another institution’s MRI application or part of a collaborative submission. Note the cost-share requirements detailed in the Award Information section.
