    Summary

    The Biomedical Research Facilities grant program provides funding to modernize and improve existing shared- use research facilities (e.g., core laboratory space or animal facilities), or to construct new biomedical research space and furnish it with necessary casework or other fixed equipment. The purpose of modernizing these facilities is to enable and enhance the conduct of cutting-edge biomedical research.

    An institution may request funds to modernize a core facility to create an environment required for research-driven specialized technological services. Likewise, funds may be requested to consolidate space for an institution-wide core which would provide streamlined workflows for contemporary multi-disciplinary investigations.

    Applicants may request funding to support the design, construction activity and purchase of fixed equipment and its installation costs. Fixed equipment may include infrastructure equipment, such as HVAC units serving the facility and other large fixed equipment connected to the building structure and services. Also, requests can be made for fixed laboratory equipment and installation costs. Examples of such equipment include, but are not limited to:

    • fume hoods and laminar flow stations;
    • biosafety cabinets;
    • casework and laboratory benches;
    • autoclaves and other sterilizing equipment.

    Allowable costs include:

    • appraisals;
    • bid advertising;
    • inspection and commissioning fees;
    • project management related to this construction project;
    • contingency fees (Allowable contingency fees are limited to 15 percent of the total allowable costs before bids are received and must be reduced to 10 percent after a construction contract has been awarded.);
    • filing fees for recording of NFI.
