*      Allows unlimited use of instrumentation

**   Minimum charge - 2 hours

*** Minimum charge - $5

1         Minimum charge – 1/2 hour

2         Supplies: $20-30 depending on sample

3         Minimum charge – 1 hour

 

ADDITIONAL labor charge ($40/hour) will be applied in the following cases:

(a)                 For all the first time instrument users, assuming that the students must receive initial instrument training (at least, one hour, depending upon the complexity of the instrument/method);

(b)               When Analytical Lab provides complete sample analysis without involving client (actual time spent by lab technician for the sample preparation and analysis plus any additional charge for supplies and chemicals).

 

 

Seed Fund Grant

The NJIT Materials Characterization Laboratory provides a wide range of analytical and characterization equipment for supporting and advancing research by faculty and students. The University provides a significant level of financial support for the operation and maintenance of the Laboratory in order to keep the research resource staffed and ready for use. The operation of the Laboratory also depends on fee payments by users based on grants and contracts obtained for research support. It is also recognized that successful grant applications may be based on the ability to demonstrate a proof of principle or initial research results. Obtaining this type of information may benefit from use of the Materials Characterization facilities. The University has developed a mechanism to provide small amounts of funds to provide for access to the laboratory to obtain these initial results. It is expected that researchers who apply for these seed grants will describe the work to be done and estimate the cost based on the Material Characterization Laboratory fee schedule. In addition, the application should describe the planned use for the results of the seed study, such as which proposals will be prepared and submitted.

The proposals for seed funding will be evaluated. Verification will be made that no alternative funding mechanism exists. A copy of the proposal written using the results of the laboratory effort will also be required when it is prepared. There may be some exceptional other uses of the seed funds, such as need for a student to complete dissertation research. Such cases will be considered. There should be no assumption of automatic funding using this mechanism.
