High-End Instrumentation Grant Program (S10)
The ORIP High-End Instrumentation Grant (HEI) program encourages applications from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase a single major item of equipment to be used for biomedical research that costs at least $750,000. The maximum award is $2,000,000. Instruments in this category include, but are not limited to, biomedical imaging systems, NMR spectrometers, mass spectrometers, electron microscopes and supercomputers.
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 rgeopps@uw.edu (for School of Medicine applicants) or research@uw.edu (for non-School of Medicine applicants) by 5:00 PM Thursday, April 11, 2013. Full applications are due to the sponsor on 9/13/13, so you will need to have materials in to the Office of Sponsored Programs by 9/6/13 for processing if given the go ahead by the 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.
For general inquiries, or to request a listing of a limited submission opportunity that should be but is not already listed, please email us at limitedsubs@uw.edu.
