The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a grant opportunity titled "IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE)" aimed at enhancing biomedical research capacity in states that have historically received low levels of NIH funding. This program seeks to support statewide networks consisting of research-intensive institutions and primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) in designated IDeA states, fostering collaboration, faculty research, student participation, and institutional research infrastructure development. Eligible applicants include private institutions of higher education located in specific states such as Alaska, Arkansas, and Puerto Rico, among others, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Interested parties can reach out to Dr. Jessica M. Faupel-Badger at 301-480-4969 or via email at badgerje@mail.nih.gov for further information. The estimated project start date is May 1, 2028, with applications closing on May 18, 2027.
