I. All institutional users* of the Dewel Microscopy Facility will be charged at the following rates:

* Institutional users = students, faculty, staff, formal adjuncts (for courses, independent study or research).

This fee schedule should be used when applying for external funding for research or instruction.

Internal users can remit payment by a transfer of funds from their accounts to the Microscopy Account managed by College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) Dean’s office.  Such accounts may include but are not limited to the following:
                  • Special funds account (e.g. research grant or contract)
                  • State funds account (e.g. department or college)

In addition, internal users may apply for the following teaching and/or research grants funded by the CAS Dean’s Office. 
                  • Microscopy Teaching Grant (MTG) for instruction
                  • Microscopy Research Grant (MRG) for research

Potential users should consult with the Microscopy Director (Dr. G. Hou) who will then make recommendations for Microscopy Teaching/Research Grant support.  The Microscopy Advisory Committee and CAS Dean’s Office will make final decisions on funding.

Institutional users must complete an annual report of their use of the facility in order to be eligible for MTG or MRG grant support from the Dean. Accounts for which final reports are not submitted will be charged to the user’s home department.

II. Fees for all external (industry/corporate/for profit) use of the facility are negotiated on an individual basis through the College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Office and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs at rates no less than competitive industry standards.
