About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health is soliciting applications for Small Instruments and Modern Equipment for Shared-use Biomedical Research Facilities and Resources (S15 Clinical Trial Not Allowed), a forecast opportunity with no stated deadline. Eligible applicants span a broad range: higher education institutions (public and private), 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, for-profit organizations, small businesses, state and local governments, tribal governments (federally and non-federally recognized), special district governments, public or Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, as well as eligible federal agencies, U.S. territories, faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and non-domestic entities. No cost share or matching requirement is stated.
The program funds purchase of new small instruments and scientific equipment for shared biomedical research facilities—including core facilities, biorepositories, and model resource facilities—that serve multiple researchers. Applicants are especially encouraged to request funding for instruments using new or emerging technologies or producing physical, chemical, or biomaterial outputs beyond conventional digital data. Funding cannot support highly specialized research instruments or building-level infrastructure equipment providing only indirect research support.
The opportunity operates under CFDA 93.351 (Research Infrastructure Programs) within the NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs. Evaluation criteria include assessment of instrument need, technical expertise in the requested technology, advancement of research projects enabled by the novel technology, administration of instrument usage, and institutional support for long-term maintenance and operation. Peer review occurs through committees of biomedical research authorities, with recommendations forwarded to the NIH Council of Councils for final review.
Forecast synopsis
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites eligible shared biomedical research facilities to buy new small instruments or scientific equipment. These facilities may include core facilities, biorepositories, model resource facilities, and other research spaces or resources that are shared by multiple researchers. The goal is to help these facilities improve, update, and operate more efficiently. Organizations are especially encouraged to request funding for small instruments that use new or emerging technologies or that produce physical, chemical, or biomaterial outputs other than conventional digital data. This funding cannot be used to buy highly specialized research instruments or building-level infrastructure equipment that only indirectly supports research.
