ABOUT THE 2023 KAVLI SMALL EQUIPMENT GRANTS
The goal of the 2023 Kavli Small Equipment Grants Program is to provide funds to buy or build small equipment designed to strengthen research capacity and capability. The grant has a total funding amount of $200,000 and awards range from a minimum of $10,000 up to $100,000. This year, the research area focus was labs working on neuroscience, particularly Alzheimer’s, as well as cancer research.

In alignment with Salk’s strong tradition of sharing equipment among labs, equipment funded by the Kavli Small Equipment Grants Program will be available to Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind (KIBM) researchers at Salk.
