Key Information: Forecasted opportunity; eligibility limited to institutions in designated IDeA states.
Description
The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) program aims to strengthen biomedical research capacity in states that have historically received low levels of NIH funding, known as IDeA states. This opportunity supports the creation and enhancement of statewide networks, typically comprising one or more research-intensive institutions and multiple primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). The primary objectives are to:
- Build and sustain biomedical research infrastructure.
- Support faculty research and mentoring.
- Promote student participation in research.
- Develop pathways for undergraduate students in these states to pursue biomedical research careers.
- Foster collaboration among institutions within the state to create economies of scale and strengthen research capabilities at PUIs.
