Policy Statement

The Schmidt Foundation Funds for the purchase of shared scientific equipment remains a highly valuable resource for the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine (COM). The Dean and Research Committee will invite applications for shared equipment. The goal is to identify and acquire scientific equipment that could clearly benefit multiple College of Medicine faculty in the conduct of funded research and aid in the acquisition of new external funding for COM research. Equipment purchased using these funds should address long term strategic goals for the college as well as short-term research needs. To submit a recommendation, fill out the COM Common Equipment Application Form in full and attach a vendor quote. Requests should be routed first to Jeff Clark who will route the application for review by the Research Committee. The Research Committee will make recommendations to the Dean and or designee. Successful applications must clearly justify the value of the proposed equipment to current funded research of multiple faculty members and the potential for increasing future funding for research within the COM.
