Equipment and Facilities for R&D

When planning new research, it’s important to note that some agencies require a specific form while others do not. In either case, thoroughly describe all needed equipment and facilities you need to be succesful. Then clearly delineate between what's already available to you and what additional resources you need to implement your proposed project. Remember to list special equipment, related services, field resources, animal care facilities or controlled environments or special laboratory facilities. Our team can help calculate tuition costs and institutional overhead when putting together a grant proposal or managing an award.

UB has some of the region's most advanced science and engineering equipment available for shared use. The searchable equipment database helps you find what you need for your research projects. The laboratory staff can help you learn how to operate a specific piece of equipment or be updated on protocols and safety. 

When you need highly controlled environments to minimize pollutants and airborne particles, consider one of UB's two multidisciplinary cleanrooms located at UB North Campus and UB Downtown Campus. These class 10,000, 1000 and 100 working spaces are well equipped for electronic device research, processing and development, microfabrication and other processes including biomedical applications.

When you want to test and analyze liquid, powder, surface and bulk materials, use the materials characterization labs on North Campus and South Campus. These labs can help you assure product quality, analyze failures or when needing forensic evaluations.
