Description
The National and Regional Resources (NRR) program, administered by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) at NIH, supports the development and maintenance of mission-related resources that serve a substantial number of biomedical investigators (typically more than 100 per year) at a national or multi-state regional level.
A "resource" in this context is defined as an activity or facility that provides research capabilities and expertise to a large number of researchers and is accessible to any qualified investigator, regardless of their specific biomedical research focus. The program aims to enable access to state-of-the-art technologies, methods, and expertise that may not be widely available to individual laboratories, thereby advancing biomedical research and achieving economies of scale.
Support is available for both established resources and new resources formed through the consolidation of multiple existing regional or local facilities.
