CSU Awarded NIH S10 Research Instrumentation Grant

Cleveland State was awarded a $250,000 grant to acquire a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) instrument that will support ongoing NIH-funded research at CSU and help increase research capacity. The grant is led by Dr. Yana Sandlers, an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry, and includes faculty members Dr. Xue-Long Sun, Dr. Aimin Zhou, and Dr. Bin Su as major users of the system.

The LC-MS/MS system's advanced technical capabilities will promote rigorous and reproducible research, upholding high standards for scientific methodology and data reliability, while providing essential hands-on training for CSU's undergraduate and graduate students.

NIH’s S10 Instrumentation Grant Programs support purchases of state-of-the-art commercially available instruments to enhance research of NIH-funded investigators. To be eligible for an S10 award, an institution must identify three or more principal investigators with active NIH research awards who demonstrate a substantial need for the requested instrument.
