The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) received a $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to acquire a Zeiss LSM 910 confocal microscope system. The award, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, will support the purchase and installation of this advanced imaging instrument at the Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology (NDRB) Core Facility. The new confocal system will replace an aging Zeiss LSM 710 microscope that is no longer supported by the manufacturer's service contract as of September 1, 2024, ensuring uninterrupted research capabilities for the department's biomedical research program. The Zeiss LSM 910 will function as a shared core facility instrument supporting NDRB's 28 tenure/tenure-track faculty members, including 14 currently funded by NIH-sponsored research projects and additional researchers supported by other federal grants and private foundation funding. The system will provide next-generation imaging quality and enhanced capabilities to advance research in neuroscience, developmental biology, and regenerative biology. The NIH Research Infrastructure Programs funding mechanism supports acquisition of high-end scientific instrumentation essential to biomedical research enterprises, and this award addresses a critical need for modernized imaging infrastructure at an R1 Carnegie Classification research institution designated as a Hispanic-serving university.Federal Grant Award Summary
