NIH S10 Grant Applications for Shared Instrumentation: Tips, Tidbits, and Informed Suggestions
Part 1: Developing the Foundation – Timeline, Who, What, When, Where, How
Part 2: Writing the Proposal – Essentials for Each Section
February 15th and 16th, 2023 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. EST Register here
Speakers: Joe Dragavon University of Colorado Boulder Sheenah Mische NYU Langone Medical Center Grossman School of Medicine Susan Weintraub University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
Description:
The NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) manages the S10 programs and issues Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) with one annual receipt date. The next deadline is June 1, 2023. Active FOAs are:
- PAR-22-081 Basic Instrumentation Grant Program (BIG) funds grant awards in the $25,000 to $250,000 range.
- PAR-22-080 Shared Instrumentation Grant Program (SIG) funds grant awards in the $50,000 to $600,000 range.
- PAR-22-079 High-End Instrumentation Grant Program (HEI) funds grant awards in the $600,001 to $2,000,000 range.
ORIP just celebrated the 40th anniversary of the S10 program which has provided significant benefit to many of our members and their institutions. Although many people have heard about the Shared Instrument Grant S10 grant, quite a few have little-to-no direct experience pursuing this funding opportunity. In this workshop, we will discuss all aspects of the S10 process, offering suggestions and lessons learned where appropriate.
Day 1 will focus on laying the foundation of the application, including: determining if sufficient need exists for a new instrument; evaluating options for vendors and models; assembling a list of potential users; finding out who you should talk to at your institution; assessing the necessity of instrument demonstrations and/or preliminary data.
Day 2 will center around the proposal contents where we will go over the various sections, what should be included and where, key facility and institutional data and statistics to report. If time permits, we will also summarize required NIH post award reporting.
Please join us for this two-part workshop if you are considering an S10 grant application for 2023.
Register today.

Slide presentation.
Full workshop recording. Note: speaker presentations begin at these points in the recording:
Introduction Rachael Walker: 3:36 Rachael Sheridan: 28:05 David LeClerc: 52:48 Matthew Cochran: 1:19:35 Tim Bushnell: 1:44:00 Q&A: 1:58:30
Abstract: This session will present attendees with a unique opportunity to hear from five panelists and experts within the flow cytometry field. Together they will walk you through an exciting conversation on the evolution of flow cytometry, how it works, and how this technology has evolved, impacting research discoveries and the development of new technologies. This presentation will close with a discussion on spatial flow cytometry and proteomics. The latest and newest era in the development of flow cytometry’s contribution to research.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will be able to learn about and ask questions on:
• The evolution of flow cytometry over the last 50 years. • How flow cytometry works. • Development and history of fluorochromes • The evolution of spectral flow cytometry and its impact on developing new tools for research. • Applying Spatial proteomics and flow cytometry together.
