The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) of the NIH invites renewal applications for its Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grants. This P20 grant mechanism aims to strengthen an institution’s biomedical research infrastructure through thematic, multi-disciplinary centers. A key objective is to enhance investigators’ ability to independently compete for National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other external research grants. Supported by the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Program, this initiative fosters health-related research by increasing the competitiveness of researchers in states with historically low NIH grant success rates. NCRR anticipated committing approximately $20 million in FY 2010 to fund up to 9 renewal applications, subject to fund availability and merit.

| Description: | Purpose. The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) of the NIH invites applications for renewal (competing continuation) of eligible Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grants. 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 National Institutes of Health (NIH) individual research grants or other external peer-reviewed support. COBRE awards are supported through the Institutional Development Award (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. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH exploratory grant mechanism (P20). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NCRR intends to commit approximately $20 million in FY 2010 to support this initiative. It is anticipated that up to 9 renewal (competing continuation) applications will be funded in response to this FOA. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. Although the financial plans of the NCRR provide support for this program, awards pursuant to this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) are contingent upon the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. |
