Section III

Description

The Institutional Development Award program develops biomedical research capacity in states that have historically received low levels of NIH funding (IDeA states). The IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) Notice of Funding Opportunity will support statewide networks in IDeA states made up of one or more research intensive institution and multiple primarily undergraduate institutions. INBREs build biomedical research capacity through supporting faculty research and research mentoring, student participation in research, and enhancement of institutional research infrastructure with an emphasis on developing pathways for undergraduate students in these states to move into biomedical research careers. The INBREs promote collaboration among institutions in IDeA states, create economies of scale, and develop research support capabilities at the primarily undergraduate institutions.
