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. Instruments supported include, but are not limited to, X-ray diffractometers, high throughput robotic screening systems, mass spectrometers, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and light microscopes, flow cytometers, and biomedical imagers.

Application Instructions

An internal application process is required 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 limitedsubs@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Wednesday, March 22, 2023.

Additionally, our office will provide the RFA-required letter of support with a table that includes information about performance of all previous S10-awarded instruments within the past five years and other required data. See Attachments, Section II) Letters of Support.

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.
