The Cornell Shared Research Equipment (Cornell ShaRE) program, an initiative of the Office of the Vice President for Research & Innovation, supports research excellence and career development by providing funding for shared research equipment. Groups of three or more researchers from at least two different departments, colleges or units are invited to apply for shared research equipment funding.
Deadline has passed. Applications are not being accepted. Decisions are delayed at this time.
Is new equipment essential to retaining your research leadership?
Do you need basic equipment that grants will not fund?
Have you purchased an instrument that lacks installation support?
Are you applying for an instrumentation grant that requires cost sharing?
Was your budget cut and now insufficient to fund a new acquisition?
Up to $500,000 will be distributed annually, with grants for internal purchases up to roughly $150,000, and grants for cost-sharing on proposals up to roughly $300,000.

- Who? Three researchers from at least two different departments, colleges or units
