The Fall 2019 Equipment Competition received 80 proposals, requesting more than $12.5M of equipment. Following peer review, we funded 21 requests, resulting in nearly $4M in new equipment across campus. Support for this equipment came from VPR funds (75%) and unit (Department, College, Center, Research Priority Area) matching funds.
