You can improve the probability of funding if in grant proposals you stress your access to the university's on-site, full-time professional Scientific Glassblower. In competing successfully for scarce grant money, you should indicate that your institution has the physical resources to support your research needs. The CSU Chemistry Department Scientific Glassblowing facility has the equipment, glassware component inventory, and expertise you require. The Glassblowing facility may be consulted on the proposed design of experimental apparatus, as well as equipment fabrication, modification, and repair. Timely satisfaction of campus-wide glassblowing needs is the shop's primary mission.
