The National Institutes of Health’s Shared Instrumentation for Animal Research (SIFAR) Grant Program aims to assist NIH-funded researchers in acquiring advanced scientific instruments essential for conducting animal experiments across various biomedical research areas. The program prioritizes configurations of specialized integrated systems or instrument series supporting specific research themes involving animals or related materials. Preference is given to innovative system configurations fostering transformative investigations. This grant supports requests for high-end, commercially available technologies necessary for NIH-funded research with any vertebrate and invertebrate animal species. Grants require at least one instrument priced at $50,000 or more, with no individual instrument in a cluster costing less than $20,000. The grant award amount ranges up to $750,000.

| Description: | The Shared Instrumentation for Animal Research (SIFAR) Grant Program encourages applications from groups of NIH-funded investigators to purchase or upgrade scientific instruments necessary to carry out animal experiments in all areas of biomedical research supported by the NIH. Applicants may request clusters of commercially available instruments configured as specialized integrated systems or as series of instruments to support a thematic well-defined area of research using animals or related materials. Priority will be given to uniquely configured systems to support innovative and potentially transformative investigations. This FOA supports requests for state-of-the art commercially available technologies needed for NIH-funded research using any vertebrate and invertebrate animal species. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) does not support requests for single instruments. At least one item of the requested instrumentation must cost at least $50,000, after all applicable discounts. No instrument in a cluster can cost less than $20,000, after all applicable discounts. There is no maximum price requirement; however, the maximum award is $750,000. |
