2018-19 research equipment funding programs open

The Laboratory and University Core Facility Research Equipment Program is now open for the 2018-19 academic year. The program is jointly sponsored by the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research and Partnerships and the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Diversity.  

The program supports the purchase of capital research equipment in two cost categories. Part I is for research equipment costing up to $100,000 and Part II is for equipment costing from $100,000 to $1,000,000. The goal is to address critical and strategic research equipment needs and thereby enhance the research programs of individual investigators as well as multiple investigators reliant on shared-use equipment.  

Part I: Applications for research equipment costing up to $100,000 will be submitted and reviewed this fall. Applications are due Oct. 3.

Part II: For equipment costing $100,000 to $1,000,000, a preliminary concept summary must be submitted this fall. Final applications will be submitted in late January and reviewed thereafter. Mandatory preliminary concept summaries are due Nov. 5. Final applications are due Jan. 28.

Guidelines for both parts of the program and an application template are available from links on the Funding Resources and Laboratory and University Core Facility Research Equipment Program pages.
