NSF Research Infrastructure Outreach
The Research Infrastructure Office (RIO) in the Office of Budget, Finance and Award Management (BFA) are the NSF's primary resource for all policy or process issues related to the development, implementation, and oversight of major and mid-scale projects, and is an NSF-wide resource on project management. The Research Infrastructure Office facilitates the use of best management practices by fostering coordination and collaboration throughout NSF to share application of lessons learned.
Research Infrastructure refers to all NSF Major Facilities, Mid-Scale Projects, and all other Scientific Facility Communities.
On this page, you will have access to webinar recordings from all Research Infrastructure Outreach events and activities. Research Infrastructure Outreach events are valuable for all Facility and Operations Managers, Property and Maintenance Managers, Cooperative Agreement and Contracting Officers and other business professionals.
