Collaborations are permitted and encouraged. The maximum duration of the award is 5 years. The maximum amount that may be requested is $3 million for the first year (minimum amount $100,000) and up to $300,000 for each subsequent year. Allowable expenses include the cost of the instrument, installation and/or necessary renovation expenses, and maintenance/service contracts; all of these costs and expenses must be prorated for direct use in cancer research efforts, and there must be an institutional commitment to provide further necessary funds.
A wide variety of research instrumentation can be wholly or partially supported, including but not limited to:

The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas has announced the release of a Request for Applications (RFA) for Shared Instrumentation Awards to be funded in fiscal year 2011 (through 8/31/2011). Each institution is only allowed to submit one application, so I am asking that there be as much collaboration as possible between applicants. The Provost’s Office will screen the applications, and select the application to be submitted.
