The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) is offering the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant to investigators at biomedical research institutions that award doctoral degrees or independent biomedical research institutes in IDeA eligible states. This grant is for the purpose of strengthening an institution’s biomedical research infrastructure through establishing thematic multi-disciplinary centers. It also aims to enhance investigators’ ability to independently compete for other National Institutes of Health (NIH) or external research grants. Supported by the IDeA Program, this initiative fosters health-related research by increasing the competitiveness of investigators and institutions in states with historically low NIH grant success rates.

| 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. |
