The High-End Instrumentation (HEI) Grant Program encourages applications
from groups of NIH-supported investigators to purchase or upgrade a
single item of high-end, specialized, commercially available instruments
or integrated systems. The minimum award is $600,001. There is no
maximum price limit for the instrument; however, the maximum award is
$2,000,000. Instruments supported include, but are not limited to, X-ray
diffractometers, high throughput robotic screening systems, mass
spectrometers, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, DNA and protein
sequencers, biosensors, electron and light microscopes, flow
cytometers, and biomedical imagers.

Award budget: Applications will be accepted that request a single, commercially
available instrument or an integrated instrumentation system. The
minimum award is $600,001. There is no upper limit on the cost of the
instrument, but the maximum award is $2,000,000.

Number of applications: Applicant organizations may submit more than one application, provided that each application is scientifically distinct.
