NIH Shared Instrumentation Grant Program
FAS Letter of Intent Deadline: March 9, 2015 by 5:00PM
Award Amount: $50,000-$600,000

The objective of this Program is to make available to institutions expensive research instruments that can only be justified on a shared-use basis and that are needed for NIH-supported projects in basic, translational or clinical areas of biomedical/behavioral research. The Program provides funds to purchase or upgrade a single item of expensive, specialized, commercially available instrument or an integrated instrumentation system. While there is no restriction on the number of applications an institution can submit, if two or more applications are submitted for similar equipment from the same institution, institutional documentation must be provided stating that this is not an unintended duplication, but part of a campus wide institutional plan. In order to determine if there are any overlapping requests, potential applicants from FAS are asked to submit a brief letter of intent form following the link above.
