URL: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-MH-22-155.html

OBJECTIVES:

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) S10 Biomedical Research Support Shared Instrumentation Grant Program encourages applications from NIHNational Institutes of Health funded investigators to purchase or upgrade a single commercially available instrument or to purchase a group of components to create an instrument that is not commercially available. The goal of the NIMH Instrumentation Program is to make such instruments available to either individual laboratories or core facilities that conduct mental health-related research. Examples of instruments that might be submitted under this funding opportunity include light microscopes, electron microscopes, spectrophotometers, and biomedical imagers.

While the opportunity is not strictly limited, the Office of Research will collect applications centrally to ensure scientific distinctness and to facilitate institutional support statements.

FUNDING INFORMATION:

Award budget between $200,000 and $600,000. There is no maximum limit on the cost of the instrument, but the maximum award is $600,000. S10 awards are only for the cost of the instrument, so indirect costs cannot be requested. Award project is for one year.
