Can ATLAS funds be requested to purchase major equipment and upgrades for a campus facility, to support recording and broadcast of arts and culture programs?

While equipment purchases are allowable in ATLAS, they must be linked to the completion of a faculty member’s major scholarly or creative work. If the goal of the project is to establish or continue a recording/broadcasting program on campus, it is not a good fit for the ATLAS program. The Departmental Enhancement program supports equipment purchases for academic, research, and agricultural departments and units.
