High-End Instrumentation (HEI) Grant Program (S10 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Limited Submissions

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. Types of instruments supported include, but are not limited to: X-ray diffractometers, mass spectrometers, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and light microscopes, cell sorters, high throughput robotic screening systems, and biomedical imagers.

Application Instructions

An internal application process is required in order to verify that each equipment request from our institution is unique. Faculty who intend to submit an equipment request must email the following information:


- 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 April 9, 2020. Proposals are due to the sponsor 6/1/20, so you will need to get your materials in to OSP by 5/21/20, if given the go-ahead by the limited submissions review committee.

Inquiries and Contact Information

Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
