RFP: Core Instrumentation Special Solicitation – Small Equipment

The solicitation will consider requests up to $30,000 (smaller budgets welcomed) and invites proposals from core facilities for the acquisition of small equipment, datasets, and/or repositories.
Applications proposing acquisition or licensing of datasets or repositories not associated with a core facility must be made by the school research dean (or designee). All equipment/datasets/repositories supported under this announcement must be advertised and made available to the entire USC research community.
