Hi Pamela,
Good question!
The Project Narrative is the ideal place to describe
how the facilities / resources will be leveraged in the project. If the PI(s) are working to conserve space (15 pages of prime real estate), my advice would be to cover the institutions priorities, values, commitment in a cover letter – elaborating on
how unique/novel the commitment to undergraduate research is unique/novel in your geographic region or compared to other institutions.
It is important to note that the
NSF PAPPG guidelines caution applicants to
not include information that is better placed in the Project Narrative (student success is an institutional priority) or Budget Justification (description of cost share commitment).
That said, you can include a leading sentence on the Facilities and Infrastructure page, such as:
“The Facilities, Equipment, and Other Resources described here demonstrate our institutional commitment to Undergraduate Research, as described in the Project Narrative.”
My two cents, for what it is worth.
Good luck!

Subject: [RESADM-L] Seeking Advice on R15
Hi all, and hope you had a great long weekend,
We are working with a PI who is seeking advice on where to discuss our institution's commitment to undergraduate research. Two of his colleagues addressed this in two different areas of their own applications - Facilities under Institutional
Support and in the Research Strategy section. Fortunately, both applications were successful. But the PI would like to know which would be more effective or appropriate. Any thoughts?
Thank you!
Best,
Pamela Tuffley
