The College of Pharmacy and Nutrition Research Infrastructure Program is a competitive funding program designed to support the acquisition, upgrade, and maintenance of research equipment. The program will provide $250,000 in available funding over the next 2 years.  

The program’s funding can be utilized in two ways: acquiring new research equipment with a useful life of more than 1 year, and upgrading or maintaining existing research equipment to improve or preserve efficiency.

This program is part of the college’s larger strategy to enhance research activity and graduate student/postdoctoral fellow training in the college. It will complement the other research activities and programs that have been initiated or are planned to develop over the next few years, including:

  1. Grants Incentive Program
  2. Graduate Student Training Program
  3. A number of new research chairs
  4. New Journal Publication Incentive Program
