Description
This program supports the acquisition of advanced research equipment by providing institutional matching funds to UCSF Campus Cores. It is designed to leverage external or internal funding sources—such as NIH Shared Instrumentation Grants, High-End Instrumentation Grants, or departmental support—to enable the purchase of essential instruments that foster collaborative, multidisciplinary research at UCSF. The award emphasizes cost-effectiveness, optimal sharing across investigators and departments, and requires equipment to be managed within a certified UCSF Campus Core and integrated into the iLab Core Management System. Funds may cover equipment costs, essential personnel, or maintenance during the validation period, with the goal of expanding technological capabilities and supporting innovative research infrastructure at UCSF.
