Illumina will be announcing four RNA-Seq Pilot Grants at the Sequencing Symposium this Thursday (August 28^th, 10 am to 1 pm at the Genome Center Auditorium).  Each grant will include RNA-seq library preparations and one lane of HiSeq sequencing. 

One prerequisite for participation in the pilot grant program is the willingness to report on the results in a short presentation in a forum like the coming Sequencing Symposium at UC Davis.
