TIGER is a cosmic-ray detector consisting of several scintillator and Cherenkov light boxes and a scintillating fiber hodoscope. It will be able to measure the elemental abundances of GCRs with 26 ≤ Z ≤ 40 and energies above 300 MeV/nucleon. TIGER will measure the individual abundances of the odd-Z elements between Z=30 and Z=40 for the first time. These odd-Z nuclei are important for distinguishing between the effects of first-ionization potential and volitilty in the injection process, for models of nucleosynthesis and constraining models of cosmic-ray propagation at short pathlengths. We will discuss some of the scientific questions we hope to be able to address with the TIGER mission
