CNSI Technology Center vouchers awarded
The CNSI’s Technology Center voucher program has awarded 30 vouchers in its inaugural round.
The program aims to foster scientific discovery and collaboration to stimulate new, exploratory research initiatives. Awardees can use vouchers to cover the cost of Technology Centers use.
The next application round for the Technology Center voucher program will open in January 2024. Applications can be submitted at: https://cnsi.ucla.edu/technology-centers/cnsi-technology-centers-voucher-program/
Voucher applications are considered based on the following criteria:
- Use case – Does the proposal introduce new users or research projects to the Technology Centers and/or support early-career faculty/researchers?
- Feasibility – Is the proposed research technically feasible based on current capabilities in the Technology Centers?
- Follow-on impacts – Does the proposal support proof of concept studies or collection of preliminary data that can be used to secure funding and/or support the establishment of new collaborations?
Vouchers are available for UCLA-affiliated researchers only. Due to limited resources, not all applications will be supported. The next application round for the Technology Center voucher program will open in January 2024.
