Electron Microscopy Funding Support Center

Funding electron microscopy lab and facility equipment

Are you working toward securing funding for new electron microscopy lab equipment through grants, internal funding, and/or other funding sources? Whether you are new to electron microscopy or have years of experience with this technology, securing funding can be demanding, time-consuming, and stressful. Our team can assist you with any funding opportunity you are seeking by providing consultative support.

 

Our team shares success stories of how other customers have secured grants alongside internal funding and other sources to achieve their goals. We coordinate the collection of preliminary datasets at our NanoPort Facilities to create compelling business cases or to support your funding proposals.

 

Additionally, we provide insights into current applications and technology trends that can accelerate your research. And we contextualize how our technology can benefit the broader community, including both research and education sectors.

 

We also provide information about financing and leasing solutions from Thermo Fisher Scientific (where available), offer guidance on funding support for post-purchase maintenance and service contracts, and much more.


Electron microscopy lab equipment financing options

Did you know that you can partner with us to finance your new lab equipment, making it even easier to keep pace with advancing technology? Our team understands the business challenges you face and how to overcome them by delivering solutions that support your business goals and budget. Acquiring equipment doesn’t have to be complicated. Ask our team about the flexible Bridge to Grant (B2G) Funding Program, which allows you to use an electron microscopy system while you wait for your grant to be awarded.

Bridge to Grant (B2G) Funding program

Our B2G Funding program is a deferred payment solution that allows universities to take delivery while they await decision of their grant application (3–12 months from installation). It is structured as a fair market value lease to adhere to NIH guidelines.

Technology refresh

Our technology refresh program protects against equipment obsolescence and gives you flexibility to support your needs and budget by upgrading to the latest technology.

Fair market value (FMV) lease

Giving you the flexibility to respond to innovations in technology, the FMV lease offers the lowest monthly payment, helping to maximize your cash flow while offering flexible end-of-term options of continuing the lease, purchasing the equipment, or returning the equipment to upgrade to the latest technology.

Data collection at our NanoPort Facilities

Unique data stands out above the competition and can significantly enhance your chances of securing funding. Our NanoPort Facilities offer exclusive sample analysis and demonstrations to help you generate high-quality data. This data will enable you to craft a more compelling proposal for government grants or internal funding opportunities.

 

From atomic-resolution protein structure determination to high-resolution ultrastructural imaging of cell and tissue sections to 3D volume imaging, Thermo Fisher Scientific has the electron microscopy technology to support your research needs. Our expert team is here to understand your scientific questions and help you achieve the right technology to drive your life science research to the next level and beyond.

Electron microscopy grant writing resources

Not all funding opportunities are created equal, but successful grant applications have much in common. Our grant writing resources are designed to connect researchers with practical tools and valuable insights from other scientists who have successfully secured funding. Contact us for more information or consultative support.
