The NIH Shared Instrumentation for Animal Research (SIFAR) Grant Program funds groups of NIH-funded researchers to acquire cutting-edge scientific instruments for animal research in various biomedical fields. Emphasis is placed on specialized instrument clusters or unique systems that drive innovative investigations. The instruments, priced at a minimum of $50,000 each or $20,000 within a cluster, should enhance research quality, reproducibility, and encompass vertebrate and invertebrate species. The grant’s maximum award is $750,000, prioritizing transformative technology essential for advancing NIH-funded research. Applications fostering scientific excellence and experimental reliability are encouraged. Deadline for submissions is May 31, 2017.

| 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 workflow in a well-defined area of research using animals or related materials. Priority will be given to specialized clusters of instruments and to uniquely configured systems to support innovative and potentially transformative investigations. Requests for a single instrument will be considered only if the instrument is to be placed in a barrier facility. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports requests for state-of-the art commercially available technologies needed for NIH-funded research using any vertebrate and invertebrate animal species. It is expected that the use of the awarded instruments will enhance the scientific rigor of animal research and improve the reproducibility of experimental outcomes. One item of the requested instrumentation must cost at least $50,000. No instrument in a cluster can cost less than $20,000. There is no maximum price requirement; however, the maximum award is $750,000. |
