Addgene's goal is to make research tools available to the entire scientific community. If your laboratory cannot afford the standard prices, Addgene can help defray this cost.
This policy exists to enable the distribution of materials to underfunded labs. If you believe your lab qualifies, please email Addgene at help@addgene.org with a brief explanation of your financial situation, the catalog number of the item(s) you intend to purchase, and the name of your PI and institution.
