The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) is offering the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant to biomedical research institutions in IDeA eligible states. This grant aims to strengthen the biomedical research infrastructure by establishing thematic multi-disciplinary centers, enabling investigators to independently compete for NIH grants. The COBRE initiative, supported by the IDeA Program, seeks to enhance health-related research competitiveness in states with historically low NIH grant success rates. Applications are accepted until Jan 28, 2016.

| Description:: | The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) invites applications for Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) from investigators at biomedical research institutions that award doctoral degrees in the health sciences or sciences related to health or at independent biomedical research institutes within Institutional Development Award (IDeA) eligible states. The objective of the COBRE initiative is to strengthen an institution’s biomedical research infrastructure through the establishment of a thematic multi-disciplinary center and to enhance the ability of investigators to compete independently for complementary National Institutes of Health (NIH) individual research grant or other external peer-reviewed support. COBRE awards are supported through the IDeA Program, which aims to foster health-related research by increasing the competitiveness of investigators at institutions located in states with historically low aggregate success rates for grant awards from the NIH. |
