Funder: Presbyterian Health Foundation
Due Dates: September 25, 2026 (Internal routing) | September 30, 2026 (Cycle I application)
Funding Amounts: $30,000–$250,000 from PHF, matched by the applicant; funds used within 12 months
Summary: Supports critically needed research equipment that fills technology gaps and strengthens research at the University of Oklahoma Health Campus.
Key Information: Equipment already available on campus for the proposed use cannot be recommended for funding.
The Presbyterian Health Foundation (PHF) Technology Advancement Grant program provides partial funding for research equipment at the University of Oklahoma Health Campus (OUHC). It aims to fill campus-wide technology gaps, expand research infrastructure, and bring cutting-edge capabilities to campus. Funding can support equipment for current faculty research or a new faculty recruit’s recruitment package.
Priority goes to equipment that serves multiple researchers and helps OUHC investigators compete for external funding. Requests must explain whether the equipment expands existing capabilities, replaces outdated equipment, or meets a need not served by campus core facilities. Projects with potential for transformative impact in translational research receive preference. Funded equipment is expected to be available to researchers across OUHC whenever possible.
