NIH High-End Instrumentation Grant Program
To: Chairs, Departments in the Biological Sciences
From: Heather Daniels, Graduate School
Date: March 9, 2009
Subject: NIH High-End Instrumentation Grant Program
Deadlines:
Notification of intent to submit is due on Monday, March 23, 2009.
Project Description:
This program is intended to make available to institutions, specifically to NIH-supported investigators, research instruments costing more than $600,000 that can only be justified on a shared-use basis. The maximum award is $8,000,000. Examples of these instruments include biomedical imagers, NMR spectrometers, mass spectrometers, electron microscopes, and supercomputers. Applications for routine instruments are not appropriate and will not be reviewed. Multiple applications from UW-Madison for similar instruments are not permitted. For this reason, a Graduate School review of the equipment requested is required. This may result in an internal competition.
Eligibility:
UW-Madison may submit more than one proposal provided the applications are for different types of equipment.
