Opportunity Summary:
The IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) P20 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 12 205) is a discretionary NIH grant designed to expand and strengthen biomedical research capacity in states that are eligible under the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program. It supports the development of statewide or regional research networks anchored by a lead organization that can provide strong research leadership, infrastructure, and mentorship. The core idea is to build a more competitive and sustainable biomedical research environment in jurisdictions that historically have had lower levels of NIH funding, by investing in people, partnerships, and shared research resources.
Under this program, awards are made to independent biomedical research institutes and/or biomedical research institutions located in IDeA eligible states that award doctoral degrees in the health sciences or in sciences related to health. The expectation is that the INBRE effort is not a single-institution project, but a collaborative network that sponsors research and research training across multiple partner organizations. These partnerships are intended to connect research-intensive institutions and institutes with institutions that may have fewer research resources, particularly primarily undergraduate institutions, community colleges, and minority-serving institutions. The announcement explicitly highlights engagement with Hispanic-serving institutions, historically Black colleges and universities, tribally controlled colleges and universities, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, reflecting a strong emphasis on widening participation and strengthening pathways into biomedical research careers.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health, with CFDA number 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which can reduce barriers for participating institutions and allow more of the project budget to be focused on research capacity building, network operations, and investigator development. While the full programmatic details and requirements are contained in the official NIH announcement, the stated purpose makes clear that NIH intends these awards to bolster research competitiveness in IDeA states by supporting collaborative research, expanding access to research infrastructure, and increasing opportunities for faculty and students to participate meaningfully in biomedical research.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based higher education and nonprofit entities, as long as the applicant fits the program requirements and is located within an IDeA eligible state. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity also clarifies eligibility for specific institution types such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, HBCUs, and TCCUs. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not permitted, consistent with NIH policy restrictions stated in the notice.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted June 12, 2012, with key dates reflecting that the announcement has been archived (archive date June 1, 2014). The original closing date is listed as June 20, 2014, with a current closing date noted as May 1, 2014 in the source data.
