INL
The Education and Research Transfer Program allows schools within the state of Idaho to apply for computer and non-computer surplus equipment from the Idaho National Laboratory. The surplus equipment is free for the schools, but the school is responsible for either picking up the equipment or paying for shipping.
Computer Equipment - To apply for computer equipment the school must sumbit a proposal to the SDE. Proposals are accepted any time and are processed and sent to INL at the end of the month. Sandi Jones of INL will contact the school to arrange pick-up or shipping. Generally there is a three to four month wait for computers.
Non-Computer Equipment - Applicatons for non-computer equipment are accepted on-line on a monthly basis as the new property program list becomes available, generally the first Wednesday of the month. See the Education and Research Transfer Program home page for a list of available equipment.
