For R01, R15, R16, R35, and R37 research projects, funds are intended for the purchase of a single unit of equipment (to include components as necessary, e.g., for a working microscope) for the benefit of the project’s research plan.

For centers, resources and core facilities from the programs listed above, funds are intended for the purchase of needed equipment that will enhance user access to and/or the impact of the resource. For other research projects listed above, funds are intended to enhance the impact of the project goals.

FUNDING INFORMATION: Varies by existing award type. Please see the linked announcement for details

ELIGIBILITY RESTRICTIONS:

The parent award must be active when the supplement application is submitted (e.g., within the originally reviewed and approved project period and not currently in a no-cost extension) and have a project period end date at least one year beyond the application due date.

INTERNAL SELECTION PROCESS:

The Office of Research is not conducting a formal review process for this opportunity, as there is not a strict institutional limit. However, multiple applications for the same or very similar equipment are not allowed. Any interested parties MUST submit a brief statement outlining the desired instrument and user base to jpfarmer@bu.edu to ensure no overlap in proposals.
