SEE ALSO: NOTICE TO APPLICANTS & GRANTEES: The Shared Instrumentation Grant program continues to operate on its regular schedule. The FY 2013 SIG Program Announcement NCRR's Shared Instrumentation Grant (SIG) program supports the purchase of research equipment in the $100,000 to $600,000 price range. Examples of instrumentation supported by SIG funding include nuclear magnetic resonance systems, electron and confocal microscopes, mass spectrometers, protein and DNA sequencers, biosensors, X-ray diffractometers and cell sorters.
From FY 2000 to FY 2011, the SIG program provided 1,503 awards to biomedical research institutions in 45 states and the District of Columbia, totaling $507,711,280. AwardsPurposeThe SIG program provides a cost-effective mechanism for groups of NIH-supported investigators to obtain commercially-available equipment that costs more than $100,000. Instruments in this price range are typically too expensive to be obtained through a research project grant. The maximum SIG award is $600,000. These grants cover the direct costs of the instruments; the grantee institution must meet costs for maintenance, service contracts, and technical support. Awards are for one year only and are not renewable. Eligibility RequirementsSIG awards are made to domestic public and non-profit institutions, including health professional schools, graduate institutions, hospitals, health departments and research organizations. To be eligible for a SIG, an institution must identify three or more major users of the technology who are principal investigators on active NIH awards funded through the P01, R01, U01, R35, R37, DP1 or DP2 mechanisms. However, the principal investigator of the SIG itself does not have to be NIH funded. How to ApplySIG applications are submitted to NIH electronically through Grants.gov Because the SIG program interfaces with other NCRR and NIH grant programs, potential applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the SIG program director before submitting a proposal.
