Abstract

The NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) supports investments in resources and infrastructure that enable scientists to conduct high-quality research, foster collaboration, train future professionals, and drive innovation and future economic growth. ORIP provides research resources and physical infrastructure support in several ways. Here we would like to highlight the long-standing S10 Instrumentation Grant Program which supports the purchase of state-of-the-art, commercially available instruments for NIH-funded investigators. Every instrument awarded by an S10 grant must be used on a shared basis, which makes the program cost-efficient and very beneficial to thousands of investigators at numerous institutions across the country. The goals of this poster are to describe the characteristics of the S10 program, review the impact of shared-use instruments awarded by the S10 programs on building research capacity in under resourced institutions, enabling advanced research discoveries in research institutions nationwide, and summarize how the S10 program fosters collaboration between NIH and academia, benefiting NIH trained scientists in their future research careers beyond NIH.
