Description

The Subatomic Physics Research Tools and Instruments (SAP-RTI) grants foster and enhance the discovery, innovation and training capability of researchers in the field of subatomic physics by supporting the purchase of research equipment and installations.  SAP-RTI grants are awards that assist buying or developing research equipment that costs more than $7,000.

SAP-RTI grants are divided into three categories, according to the total net cost of the equipment, i.e., excluding taxes, shipping and handling. These categories are:

Category 1: $7,001 to $150,000;

Category 2: $150,001 to $325,000; and

Category 3: more than $325,000

Applications to SAP-RTI Program are not subject to a quota.
