August (2019) issue of Nature Methods has an article that may be of
interest to listserv readers: Transforming the development and
dissemination of cutting-edge microscopy and computation

the text includes

    In the spirit of Open Science24,25, ideas include ‘road-testing’ of
alpha- and beta-stage instrumentation and software in the centers with
input from industry and academic experts

I note the article is not open access, so for those who do not not have
access to the print subscription (that's how I found the article, I
encourage you to email the corresponding author, [hidden email] , for a
PDF.

We propose a network of national imaging centers that provide
collaborative, interdisciplinary spaces needed for the development,
application, and teaching of advanced biological imaging techniques. Our
proposal is based on recommendations from a National Science Foundation
(NSF)-sponsored workshop on realizing the promise of innovations in
imaging and computation for biological discovery.
...
The meeting is scheduled to occur in the fall of 2019 (look for an
announcement at
https://www.mbl.edu/nsf-workshop/).
We encourage everybody who has helpful comments and ideas to send them
to us before the meeting at [hidden email].

Workshop webpage.

p.s. As a U.S. taxpayer (and funded in part by NIH, including managing a
recent S10 funded instrument and also a P30 supplement funded
instrument), I would rather see NIH increase its shared instrumentation
program budget by at least $1B per year (to $1.5B per year would be
pretty good, and then scale with NIH's overall budget), and ramp up
NSF's to some sensible ratio, say to $50B NIH : $25B NSF.
