There are many opportunities available to secure funding for equipment and instrumentation needs.  Typically these opportunities fund equipment as related to research needs, but some may also fund equipment for academic purposes.  Please consider the source and program information to help make this distinction. 

While these opportunities provide the funding to purchase the equipment, you should also carefully consider the following:

Equipment and Instrumentation Funding Opportunities 

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs subscribes to Pivot, by ProQuest. Pivot is a web-based discovery and workflow tool that combines a comprehensive source of global funding opportunities with the largest collection of scholar profiles into one intuitive solution.

With Pivot, faculty, research administrators, postdocs, and graduate students can easily explore new avenues for funding, view funding opportunities uniquely matched to their scholar profile, and collaborate with colleagues. For more information or assistance with building your profile or searches, please contact Averia Flasch at averia.flasch@marquette.edu.

 

Here's a list of Current Funding for Equipment and Instrumentation

This is a curated list of opportunities recommended to Marquette investigators. NOTE: Any opportunities marked 'Limited' require internal coordination with the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs as the number of applications allowed per institution is limited and must be determined prior to submission.

 

Beyond the typical funding opportunities listed above, there is also the Laboratory Equipment Donation Program (LEDP). The LEDP was established by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) to grant surplus and available used laboratory equipment to full-time faculty at universities and colleges in the United States for use in energy oriented Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) educational programs. This program is managed by the Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS).  The listing of equipment available through LEDP is updated as new equipment is identified. It is available at no cost for a limited time and is granted on a first-received qualified application basis.

Investigators should contact Erin Folstad if interested in applying.
