Oxford Nanopore Grant Programme

Oxford Nanopore Technologies

Award

~60 discounted sequencing packs/quarter (MinION, PromethION)

Deadline

Quarterly windows — apply in months 1–2 of each quarter; programme page unreachable Aug 28, 2026

Award type

In-kind support

Focus

Tools & compute

Lower-cost MinION Mk1D and PromethION 2 Solo sequencing packs for researchers who lack the resources to access the technology — Oxford Nanopore documents 30 of each per quarter. Applications open during the first two months of a quarter with review in the third. Note the status is uncertain: the programme's own support page returned 404 on Aug 28, 2026 even though search engines still index its contents, so it may have moved or ended. Confirm with Oxford Nanopore before counting on it. This is separate from the company's conference bursary, which covers registration and travel for presenting nanopore research.

Why it's in this index

Useful for resolving structural or deep-intronic TAFAZZIN variants that short-read sequencing misses — a diagnostic gap rather than a funding one.

Who can apply

Researchers lacking resources to access nanopore sequencing.

How to apply

Quarterly application cycles via nanoporetech.com account pages (search 'Grant Programme').
