The INBRE program funds statewide networks in historically underfunded states to build biomedical research capacity. It supports faculty research, mentoring, student research participation, and infrastructure enhancement, emphasizing pathways for undergraduates into biomedical research careers. Networks include research-intensive and primarily undergraduate institutions, promoting collaboration and economies of scale.
Eligible applicants are public, private, and nonprofit higher education institutions located in specified IDeA states. Networks must include research-intensive and primarily undergraduate institutions with limited doctoral degree production in biomedical sciences.
