IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence Funding Opportunity and Upcoming Webinar

We’re pleased to announce that the IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) funding opportunity announcement (FOA) (PAR-23-100) has been issued. INBRE funds one statewide network of higher education and research institutions in each Institutional Development Award (IDeA)-eligible state and Puerto Rico to build biomedical research capacity through supporting faculty research and mentoring, student participation in research, and infrastructure enhancements at network institutions.

Application due date: June 26, 2023
Earliest start date: April 2024

INBRE principal investigators and other key personnel, including leaders of partner institutions, are strongly encouraged to attend our upcoming webinar, where program staff will discuss changes from the prior FOA in eligibility, organization, governance, program expectations, and reporting requirements. There will be ample time for a Q&A session at the end of the webinar:
