Unlock $8M for Biomedical Research Equipment!
Summary
Are you a group of NIH-supported biomedical researchers? This grant provides up to $8,000,000 to purchase cutting-edge, high-end instrumentation essential for groundbreaking research.
Eligibility
Full Description
Purpose. The NCRR High-End Instrumentation Grant (HEI) program encourages applications from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase a single major item of equipment to be used for biomedical research that costs at least $600,000. The maximum award is $8,000,000. Additionally, it is expected that the funds will be expended expeditiously, within 18-24 months from the date of award.
Instruments in this category include, but are not limited to, structural and functional imaging systems, macromolecular NMR spectrometers, high-resolution mass spectrometers, cryoelectron microscopes and supercomputers. Mechanism of Support. This funding opportunity will use the NIH S10 mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards.
The NCRR intends to commit approximately $160M in FY2010 to fund approximately 40 new awards. Since the cost of the instruments varies, it is anticipated that the size of the award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend on the funds available for the HEI program.
