The Ohio State University Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research (IMR) invites proposals to its Kickstart Facility Grant Program. IMR Kickstart Facility Grants make shared campus research facilities more accessible to demonstrate materials-related research results with the goal of strengthening near- term research proposals for external support. Preference is given to research conducted in one of IMR’s core materials research facilities, including:
- Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence (CDME)
- Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS)
- Nanosystems Laboratory (NSL)
- Nanotech West Laboratory (NTW)
- Semiconductor Epitaxy and Analysis Laboratory (SEAL)
- AFM Core Facility in Scott Laboratory W374B
Each Kickstart Facility Grant provides $2,500.00 to offset the cost of user fees and access fees associated with participating facilities.
