This $518,494 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will fund an upgrade to the University of Hawaii Cancer Center's Genomics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource (GBSR) laboratory. The award will support the acquisition of an Illumina iScan system upgrade, including an Infinium automated pipetting system, autoloader, and related accessories. This equipment will replace the center's aging instrumentation and increase its sample throughput and analysis capabilities for genomic research, particularly in DNA methylation analysis. The upgraded instrumentation will benefit at least 9 currently funded and 2 pending NIH-supported projects at the University of Hawaii, enhancing their collaborative, multidisciplinary research aimed at understanding health disparities in Hawaii and the U.S. affiliated Pacific Islands. The award has a period of performance from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026.
