Fall 2025 Grant/ReLODE Competition
July 28, 2025
The Office for Research is inviting Fall 2025 Equipment Grant / ReLODE proposals. If awarded, all PO’s must be submitted by December 15th, 2025 and fully received by July 15th, 2026. If purchase orders cannot be submitted by this date, proposals should be submitted for a future competition.
Note that the competition is subject to the Interim Guidance on Support for Research which requires all purchases over $25,000 to be supported by the appropriate Associate Dean for Research and approved by the Chief Financial Officer. Therefore, an added section will be required to explain how the project supports existing research and the impact to current research if the project is not funded.
To qualify for this program, the submitter must be a Director or Manager of a university-sponsored core facility and the core must have submitted a FY25 Annual Report/FY26 Request for Operating Support. See “Expectations for Core Facilities“. Exceptions require approval prior to submission.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Office for Research (OR) is accepting Equipment Grant and ReLODE proposals for the purchase of equipment or instrumentation to support core facilities that serve the overall research community at Northwestern University. OR accepts requests that are not likely to be eligible for external funding (e.g., because the instrument does not meet the minimum cost guidelines or in some other way does not qualify for external support) or in cases where the timeline for need cannot be met through external funding requests. Two equipment requests per facility will be accepted. Each request must be submitted as a separate proposal and prioritized relative to the other requests.
