The Community of Shared Research Platforms (C-ShaRP) Voucher Program FY26
C-ShaRP welcomes collaborative proposals from new PIs and Shared Facilities Staff for accessing services and usage of equipment, in Stanford’s shared research facilities in SOM, SOE, H&S, and SDSS. Only one primary applicant per proposal is allowed.
See C-ShaRP Voucher Program for more information about the program and objectives.
- Incentivize new PIs to prioritize and use shared facilities as they set up their research programs
- Allow new PIs to access shared instrumentation before committing start-up funds to purchase their own equipment
- Encourage PIs to explore new, but unfunded research topics by collecting pilot data
- Enhance user experience
- Raise the profile of shared facilities
New Faculty (PIs) collaborating with Shared Facilities staff may submit proposals. PIs must not be more than 2yrs at Stanford at the time of application. Collaborators are highly encouraged and should ideally span departments and Schools. At least one co-applicant should be staff of the Shared Facility that benefits from the proposal.
Proposals should be submitted on this site, following this format
The number and amount of awards are limited to the funds at hand. Proposals will be scored and prioritized by C-ShaRP committee members. Funds can only be used to support the usage of equipment, infrastructure, and/or staffing time detailed in the proposal budget. Funding cannot be used for paying salaries. Annual reports will be used to track spending. See the C-ShaRP site for more info about the proposal process, including FAQ's.
