About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health is soliciting applications for the Shared Instrumentation Grant (SIG) Program with an application due date of July 1, 2028. Cost sharing is required for premium instruments or special use instruments. Minimum award is $300,000; maximum award is $5,000,000, with no upper limit on total instrument cost.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations, state and local governments, Indian tribal governments (federally recognized and non-federally recognized), special district governments, independent school districts, and public or Indian housing authorities. Foreign organizations and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not eligible.
The SIG Program consolidates three existing shared-use instrumentation programs: the Shared Instrumentation Grant program, the High-End Instrumentation Grant program, and the Basic Instrumentation Grant program. Applications must come from groups of NIH-supported investigators seeking to purchase or upgrade a single state-of-the-art commercially available instrument or an integrated instrumentation system. Instruments must be optimally shared among users to ensure efficient and cost-effective research operations, enable rigorous and reproducible measurements, and encourage collaborative research benefiting broad research communities.
Eligible instruments include supercomputing clusters, radiology imaging systems (high-field MRI, PET/MRI), electron microscopes, light microscopes, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, mass spectrometers, flow cytometers, DNA and protein sequencers, and X-ray diffractometers. Applications require identification of at least three NIH-funded Major Users demonstrating at least 65% utilization of Accessible Usage Time or 75% of Biomedical Research Time for special use instrument requests. Awards are made for one year only and are not renewable. The program does not provide indirect costs or support construction, alterations, or renovations.
The NOFO is assigned to Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310) and Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351).
Synopsis
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announces the restructured Shared Instrumentation Grant (SIG) Program that consolidates three existing shared-use instrumentation programs, i.e., the Shared Instrumentation Grant program, the High-End Instrumentation Grant program, and the Basic Instrumentation Grant program. The NOFO invites applications from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase or upgrade a single state-of-the-art commercially available instrument or an integrated instrumentation system. The instruments purchased through the SIG Program are required to be optimally shared among the users to ensure efficient and cost-effective research operations, enable rigorous and reproducible measurements, and encourage collaborative research and benefit broad research communities at large. The minimum award is $300,000. There is no cap on the total cost of the instrument; however, the maximum award is $5,000,000. Cost sharing is required for premium instruments or special use instruments.
