Hamilton Announces Program Bridging Funding Gaps for Academic Institutions, The Hamilton Research Support Grant
Reno, NV, United States, May 6, 2025 -- Hamilton Company, a global leader in precision measurement and automated liquid handling solutions for over 70 years, announced The Hamilton Research Support Grant program, aimed at bridging academic research funding gaps by improving access to essential benchtop laboratory equipment for institutions affected by recent budget constraints.
The Hamilton Research Support Grant program's purpose is to empower researchers to pursue innovative scientific work by removing financial barriers to essential laboratory equipment. This initiative comes in response to recent funding challenges, including the National Institute of Health's (NIH) new policy implementing a blanket 15% cap on indirect costs for grants—a significant reduction from previously negotiated rates that averaged around 28%, with some exceeding 60%.
Laboratories in academic institutions that have experienced NIH or other funding reductions are eligible to apply. The program supports labs needing to acquire or replace essential equipment for ongoing research projects, ensuring critical scientific work continues uninterrupted.
Qualified researchers receive access to funding assistance when purchasing essential laboratory equipment, including Microlab Prep, Hamilton's compact and affordable benchtop automated liquid handler, Microlab 600, Hamilton's semi-automated diluter and dispenser, and select consumables. Hamilton's benchtop laboratory equipment is designed for reliability, accuracy, and efficiency across a wide range of research applications.
The recipients of the grant funding will benefit from the following support: Access to precision benchtop devices at subsidized costs
Streamlined application process designed to minimize administrative burden
Rapid equipment deployment to maintain research momentum
Technical support to maximize the value of granted equipment
Hamilton is committed to supporting all qualifying institution laboratories with equipment funding. There is not a limit on the number of awards provided. Up to 25% of the value of the package, from $1,100 - $12,000, in grant funding will be awarded dependent on the instrument model or packages applied for by the lab.
'Hamilton's mission is to help the research community to innovate for a better world. We believe groundbreaking work should not be slowed or halted by budget constraints. Our new Hamilton Research Support Grant program reflects our commitment to the academic community by making essential lab equipment more accessible — when researchers have the tools they need, science progresses and it will continue to benefit us all.' - shared George Hii, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Hamilton Lab Solutions.

U.S. and China Agree to Walk Back Tensions
The United States and China have agreed to a 'framework' that is intended to ease economic tension and extend a trade truce that the world's two largest economies reached last month, officials from both countries said on Tuesday. After two days of marathon negotiations in London, top economic officials from the United States and China are now expected to present the new framework to their leaders, President Trump and President Xi Jinping, for final approval. The agreement is intended to solidify terms of a deal that the United States and China reached in Switzerland in May that unraveled in recent weeks. Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary who was part of the negotiating team, said that American concerns over China's restrictions on exports of rare earth minerals and magnets had been resolved. 'We have reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus,' Mr. Lutnick told reporters in London. He added that Mr. Trump and Mr. Xi would be briefed on the agreement before it took effect. 'They were focused on trying to deliver on what President Xi told President Trump,' Mr. Lutnick said. 'I think both sides had extra impetus to get things done.' The U.S. trade representative, Jamieson Greer, who took part in the discussions, said they were also focused on ensuring compliance with what was agreed in Geneva about rare earth mineral exports and tariffs. He said the two sides would continue to be in regular contact as they tried to work through their economic disagreements. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

US Inflation Seen Picking Up With Some Tariff Pass-Through
Forecasters say underlying US inflation likely picked up in May, reflecting a modest impact from tariff pass-through for goods that are mostly imported, while some services like airfares saw smaller price gains or outright declines. The consumer price index is seen rising 0.3% from April after increasing 0.2% the previous month, excluding the volatile food and energy categories. On a yearly basis, the estimated 2.9% increase would mark a reversal of a downtrend so far this year, based on the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists.
