Project Description

This announcement has been archived and replaced by NIH High-End Instrumentation (HEI) Grant Program (S10) 2023 

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.

Amount per Award: The minimum award is $600,001. There is no upper limit on the cost of the instrument, but the maximum award is $2,000,000.  S10 awards do not allow indirect costs.
Duration of Award: 1 Year
Number of Awards: The number of awards is contingent upon NIH appropriations and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.

Eligibility

There is no limit on the number of applications an institution may submit, provided the applications are for different types of equipment. The NIH will not accept duplicate or highly overlapping applications under review at the same time.

Multiple applications from UW–Madison for similar instruments require official administrative assurance that such requests are a coordinated institutional effort and not unintended duplication. For this reason, Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research & Graduate Education review of the equipment requested is required.

This is not an internal competition.
