Shared Instrumentation Grant (SIG) Program (S10 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The Shared Instrument Grant (SIG) Program encourages applications from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase or upgrade a single item of high-priced, specialized, commercially available instruments or integrated instrumentation system.

Please note:

  • The minimum award is $50,000.
  • There is no maximum price limit for the instrument; however, the maximum award is $600,000.
Instruments supported include, but are not limited to: X-ray diffractometers, mass spectrometers, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, DNA and protein sequencers, biosensors, electron and light microscopes, cell sorters, and biomedical imagers.

In order to promote cost effectiveness, to encourage optimal sharing among individual investigators, research groups and departments, and to foster a collaborative multidisciplinary environment, the instrument should be integrated in a core facility (or another shared resource) whenever possible.
