The Microgrant Program provides funding of up to $2,500 to cover the costs associated with the use of select DC CFAR core services for any full investigator CFAR member, as well as publication fees, poster printing, and travel to scientific conferences for DC CFAR Pilot Awards and NIH CFAR Administrative Supplements recipients. Investigators may apply for larger microgrants – up to $5,000 – for gene sequencing lab services only.
Core Service Microgrants
These small grants are provided to full CFAR investigators to access services offered by the Scientific Cores who will contribute to generating preliminary findings that may strengthen future applications to the DC CFAR Pilot Awards Program or to NIH directly. Types of services that are eligible to be covered through this mechanism include, but are not limited to, laboratory services and specimen acquisition and shipping.
Publication, Poster Printing and Scientific Travel Microgrants
These small grants are provided to DC CFAR Pilot Awards and NIH CFAR Administrative Supplements recipients to facilitate the publishing of and presentation of their study results.

Interested applicants are encouraged to complete the Microgrant Eligibility Form to confirm eligibility and to assess the appropriateness of this mechanism for the funding request.
