The Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station (WAES) is conducting a Hatch and Hatch/Multistate Capital Equipment call. Funding is not available for McIntire-Stennis projects. Requests are due Nov. 4, 2022.

These capital requests are a great opportunity to fund requests for major items used to support these research programs, per the following guidelines:

• Requested items must directly benefit Hatch and Hatch Multistate project research. 
• A 50% match is required. Eligible match/leverage: Dairy Industry Hub capacity-building equipment call can be used towards match if the proposal is also selected for funding by the Hub. Funding decisions for the Hub capital equipment RFP are made separately from Hatch equipment RFP and therefore, alternative match funding should be available.

• Multiple-user equipment benefiting several investigators receives priority consideration.
• Requests for standard desktop/laptop computers receive low priority.
• Equipment costing less than $5,000 will be considered, even though these items fall into the “Supplies and Expenses” category, as defined by campus.
