HEI: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-22-079.html
OBJECTIVES:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Division of Program Coordination, Planning and Strategic Initiatives, Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP), National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) 2021 (S10) Biomedical Research Support Shared Instrumentation Grant Programs are available for internal pre-submission.
The Shared Instrument Grant (SIG) Program encourages applications from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase or upgrade a single item of high-priced, specialized, commercially available instruments or integrated instrumentation system. The minimum award is $50,000. There is no maximum price limit for the instrument; however, the maximum award is $600,000. Instruments supported include, but are not limited to: X-ray diffractometers, mass spectrometers, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and light microscopes, cell sorters, and biomedical imagers.
The High-End Instrumentation (HEI) Grant program encourages applications from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase or upgrade a single item of high-end, specialized, commercially available instruments or integrated systems. The minimum award is $600,001. There is no maximum price limit for the instrument; however, the maximum award is $2,000,000. Instruments supported include, but are not limited to, biomedical imagers, high throughput robotic screening systems, X-ray diffractometers, mass spectrometers, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and light microscopes, and cell sorters.
FUNDING INFORMATION: up to $600,000 or $2,000,000 depending on opportunity
ELIGIBILITY RESTRICTIONS:
The number of institutional submissions in not limited, however submissions must be scientifically distinct and must include an institutional support letter.
