This program is designed specifically for businesses engaged in structural biology research. By applying, you gain access to advanced X-ray beamlines at synchrotron facilities. This means you can utilize well-established techniques without the burden of investing in costly new technology.

Here’s what this opportunity brings to the table:

• User training and support ensure you maximize your research efforts.
• The program aims to maintain and upgrade facilities to meet current best practices, keeping your research top-notch.
• You'll also find connections to the biomedical research community, enhancing the impact of your work.

In essence, applying for this program will elevate your research capabilities and provide valuable resources without the complexity often tied to funding. Take advantage of this chance to advance your projects and strengthen your position in the field!

This financing option is a grant, which means you do not have to pay it back. Grants provide direct funding to help with specific projects or initiatives.

Eligible Expenses include:

• Operating costs of mature structural biology resources at synchrotron facilities.
• Upgrades and maintenance to ensure technical capabilities remain state-of-the-art.
• Outreach activities to promote the facility's capabilities to the biomedical research community.
• User training and support services.

What the Funds Cannot Be Used For:

• The funds should not be used for significant novel technology development.
• They cannot cover unrelated operational costs outside of the scope of the program.

Fees:
There are no fees associated with this grant. You can access the funding with ease, allowing you to focus on advancing your research and initiatives without worrying about hidden costs.
