<p class="MsoNormal">Hey Sofia<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not sure of an entire workstation but Nvidia used to have GPU “grants” for academic users. You have to apply and every few months or so they would give out a few GPUs to graduate students and postdocs. The program was oversubscribed even
back in 2019 when I had thought of applying. You could look into that if Nvidia is still doing it although I haven’t check that GPU grant program in a long time. If at all you get a GPU grant, an existing workstation could potentially be modified assuming
its compatible with GPUs.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> I am Sofia De Felice, a first year PhD student in the structural biology lab of Prof.ssa Laura Cendron (University of Padova, Italy). I was wondering if there is any small grant I can apply, in the field of electron microscopy, for obtaining
a funding for buying a cryo-EM workstation. <o:p></o:p></p>
