Description
The Emergency Funds—Repairs program, administered by the Research and Innovation Office at the University of Colorado Boulder, offers rapid financial assistance for urgent repairs of shared instruments and equipment housed within CU Boulder Core Facilities. The program is designed to maintain the operability and functionality of essential instrumentation serving multiple investigators across campus, minimizing research disruptions due to unanticipated equipment failures. Funding is intended for repairs that cannot be solely supported through other internal or external sources, and the equipment must benefit the broader CU Boulder research community.
