Opportunity Summary:
The IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) P20 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-14-233) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program designed to build and strengthen long-term biomedical research capacity in states that are eligible under the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program. In practical terms, INBRE is meant to help an IDeA-eligible state develop a stronger, more competitive research ecosystem by expanding research infrastructure, supporting faculty and student research opportunities, and creating durable partnerships that raise the overall level of biomedical research and training within the state.
A defining feature of INBRE is its network-based model. Awards are made to independent biomedical research institutes and/or biomedical research institutions located in an IDeA-eligible state, and the lead organization must be capable of awarding doctoral degrees in the health sciences or in sciences closely related to health. From that base, the program encourages a structured collaboration between research-intensive institutions and a wider set of partners that often have fewer research resources. These partners can include primarily undergraduate institutions, community colleges, and minority-serving institutions, with an emphasis on building meaningful pathways for students and investigators to participate in biomedical research. The announcement explicitly identifies minority-serving institutions such as Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions as important potential collaborators, as appropriate to the state network.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health-related research and research training (CFDA 93.859, Biomedical Research and Research Training). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which reduces barriers for institutions that may not have large discretionary funds available to meet a match requirement. The overall intent is capacity-building: strengthening institutional research programs, improving access to research experiences, and fostering cross-campus and cross-sector collaboration that can persist beyond the grant period.
In terms of who could apply, the eligible applicant categories include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and eligible nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, other than institutions of higher education). The eligibility language also calls out additional types of eligible applicants commonly associated with minority-serving designations, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, HBCUs, and TCCUs. At the same time, the announcement is clear that foreign participation is not allowed in the form of applicant organizations or foreign components: non-U.S. entities are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components as defined by NIH policy are not permitted.
Key administrative details from the posting include a posted and created date of May 19, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 26, 2016, and an archive date of June 26, 2016. The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health. The full announcement was made available through the NIH Grants Guide at the provided link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-14-233.html). For technical issues accessing the announcement or linking problems, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@od.nih.gov.
Overall, INBRE P20 is best understood as a state-focused biomedical research network grant. It is aimed at boosting research competitiveness and developing sustainable research and training capacity by linking a doctoral-level, research-capable lead institution with a broader network of colleges and universities, including undergraduate, community college, and minority-serving partners, to expand participation in biomedical research and strengthen the state’s research infrastructure and workforce pipeline.
