Description
This opportunity supports the Expansion and Sustainability Phases of the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE-E/S) under the NIH Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program. The program aims to build and sustain biomedical research capacity in states, commonwealths, and jurisdictions that have historically received low levels of NIH funding. COBRE-E awards focus on expanding research capacity by growing the faculty base and supporting research projects and core facilities in new scientific areas. COBRE-S awards aim to sustain institutional infrastructure by consolidating research cores and continuing faculty development. The competition is limited to eligible institutions in IDeA-eligible locations.
