The maximum award is $2,000,000. Types of instruments supported include, but are not limited to: X-ray diffraction systems, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and confocal microscopes, cell-sorters, and biomedical imagers.

- PI Name
- Instrument requested
- Total direct costs
- Short justification of what the instrument will be used for

- A list of potential users

 

to research@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Thursday, March 2, 2017, and our office will provide justification if there are any duplicates.
