    The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) seeks to bolster biomedical research in specified U.S. states and Puerto Rico by funding statewide networks of higher education and research institutions. This initiative, managed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), targets institutions with historically low NIH grant success rates. The INBRE program emphasizes faculty research support, student engagement in research, and improving research infrastructure at participating institutions. Key components include an Administrative Core to manage the network, a Developmental Research Project Program for supporting faculty-led projects, and a Data Science Core to enhance data management skills. The program requires compliance with strict application instructions, including a mandatory Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives to promote inclusivity in research. Eligible applicants must be located in designated IDeA states, with provisions for collaborations with minority-serving institutions. One application per institution is permitted, and the award budget may reach $2.75 million annually over a five-year project period. The INBRE program highlights the importance of developing a diverse biomedical workforce and fostering research collaborations to address health disparities in the targeted states.
