HIGH-END INSTRUMENTATION GRANT PROGRAM (NCRR) (PAR-05-124)
Letters of Intent Receipt Date(s): August 15, 2005
Application Receipt Date(s): September 20,2005
The NCRR High-End Instrumentation Grant (HEI) program solicits 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, structural and functional imaging systems, macromolecular NMR spectrometers, high-resolution mass spectrometers, cryoelectron microscopes and supercomputers. The NCRR intends to commit approximately $21 million in FY2006 to fund approximately 11-16 new awards. Awards are for one year and for direct costs only. Cost sharing is not required. Since the cost of the various instruments will vary, it is anticipated that the size of the award also will vary. This Program Announcement will use the NIH S10 mechanism.
