Grants are available to promote educational outreach activities focused on analytical instrument-based specialties, i.e., microscopy, spectrometry, diffraction, cosmic and particle physics. Grants are provided to help increase awareness and disseminate information about facilities, methods, developments, applications, and benefits to specialty practitioners, facility users and potential users, student (middle school through advanced degree candidates), and interested public.

Funds are distributed as annual grants to Oregon State University or the University of Oregon, however, joint OSU/UO and vendor outreach programs will also be considered. During the 2013-2014 school year, approximately $4,700 is available for grants.
