What this means for your lab
This Massachusetts program explicitly allows scientific research equipment as an eligible capital expense. It can pay for instrumentation such as ultra-high vacuum thin-film growth or surface-science and photoemission systems, cryostats, and the bakeout heating needed to install and operate them.
Who can apply
Massachusetts nonprofit organizations eligible for Commonwealth capital funding: colleges, universities, academic medical centers, independent research institutions, and nonprofit accelerators/incubators.
