Eligibility Requirements

The principal investigator (PI) must be employed as a permanent, full-time core facility director or faculty member at a North Carolina academic or nonprofit research institute. The PI must also have technical expertise directly related to the type of equipment requested (as documented in the biosketch).

An IIG principal investigator may have no more than two concurrent active awards from the Center.
An institution that has received NCBiotech equipment grant funding within the past two years is ineligible to receive an IIG award for the purchase of similar equipment.

The proposal must list the intended major users of the equipment along with an explanation of how the requested instrument will advance their projects’ research objectives. Major users may have university, industry, or government research affiliations within or outside of the PI’s institution.

The number of major users who must be identified is dependent upon the size of the university or research institution.

Requests from Duke University, North Carolina State University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest University (including WFU Health Sciences and WFIRM) require at least SIX major users.
Requests from all other NC institutions require at least THREE major users.

Each application must be authorized in a letter of support from a senior research executive representing the applicant institution (e.g., Vice Chancellor of Research or equivalent). See page 11. This requirement is not fulfilled by the signature on the proposal Cover Sheet.
