IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence

NCRR's IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) promote the development, coordination, and sharing of research resources and expertise that will expand the research opportunities and increase the number of competitive investigators in the IDeA-eligible states.

Supported by NCRR's Division of Research Infrastructure (DRI), INBRE are intended to enhance the caliber of scientific faculty at research institutions and undergraduate schools, thereby attracting more promising students to these organizations.

Alaska | Arkansas | Delaware | Hawaii | Idaho | Kansas | Kentucky | Louisiana | Maine | Mississippi | Montana | Nebraska | Nevada | New Hampshire | New Mexico | North Dakota | Oklahoma | Puerto Rico | Rhode Island | South Carolina | South Dakota | Vermont | West Virginia | Wyoming

Each INBRE grantee establishes a multidisciplinary research network with a scientific focus that will:

• build and strengthen the lead and partner institutions' biomedical research expertise and infrastructure;
• build and increase the research base and capacity by providing research support to faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students at the participating institutions;
• provide research opportunities for undergraduate students and serve as a "pipeline" for undergraduate students to continue in health research careers within IDeA states;
• provide outreach activities to students at undergraduate institutions, community colleges, and tribal colleges participating in the state's network; and
• enhance science and technology knowledge of the state's workforce.
