Seeding Labs welcomes applications to participate in Instrumental Access, a program that makes high-quality laboratory equipment and supplies more affordable to university departments in low- and middle-income countries. Seeding Labs receives donated equipment from a variety of sources, including research institutions and manufacturers. Applicants submit online requests for items included in the Seeding Labs equipment inventory. Items are mainly for biology and chemistry. The average value of the items included in a shipment, based on the secondary (used) market, is generally in the range of US$60 thousand to US$150 thousand. The recipient organizations are charged a sliding fee (based on the country's income level) for program administration, equipment warehousing, equipment packing, and ocean freight. The application deadline is 29 July 2016.
