Program Summary

The NCRR Shared Instrument Grant (SIG) program encourages applications from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase or upgrade a single item of expensive, specialized, commercially available instrumentation or an integrated system that costs at least $100,000.  The maximum award is $600,000.  Types of instruments supported include confocal and electron microscopes, biomedical imagers, mass spectrometers, DNA sequencers, biosensors, cell sorters, X-ray diffraction systems, and NMR spectrometers among others.

UIC is not limited to the number of applications as long as the applications are for different types of equipment.  RDS will be coordinating the applications to ensure there are no duplicate equipment requests.

OVCR may reserve submission slots for previously submitted but unfunded proposals that received highly competitive ratings from the external sponsor.  These will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the Vice Chancellor.  For consideration, copies of your complete reviews (not just summary) must be provided.

Depending upon the number of LOIs submitted, OVCR might be required to facilitate an internal peer review process to select UIC’s submission(s) to this program.  White paper instructions will be posted if necessary.
