The Shared Instrument Grant (SIG) Program encourages applications from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase or upgrade a single item of high-priced, specialized, commercially available instruments or integrated instrumentation system. The minimum award is $50,000. There is no maximum price limit for the instrument; however, the maximum award is $750,000. Instruments supported include, but are not limited to: X-ray diffractometers, mass spectrometers, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and light microscopes, flow cytometers, and biomedical imagers.
There is no limit on the number of applications an institution may submit provided the applications are for different types of equipment.
Although this is not a limited submission, the Office of Campus Research (OCRD) asks interested faculty teams to let OCRD know to which program they are applying and for the name of the instrument to make sure Duke is submitting S10 proposals that are distinct. Interested applicants from within Duke should contact fundopps@duke.edu as early as possible.
