The Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR) is pleased to announce a 2026 CCMR Facility Mini-Grant Program.

Mini-grants of $1,000–$5,000 are available to support exploratory projects using CCMR shared facilities. The program is intended to help researchers generate preliminary data, explore new instrumentation, develop new facility capabilities, and establish new research directions. We particularly encourage applications from new CCMR users.

The application deadline is Friday, July 17, 2026, at noon.

Please see this linked call for proposal details.

Best,

Katja Nowack and David Muller
