Division of Research InfrastructureDivision of Research Infrastructure The IDeA ProgramThe IDeA Program

Designed to enhance the competitiveness for research funding of institutions located in states with historically low aggregate success rates for grant applications to NIH.

Biomedical Research Infrastructure Networks (BRIN). $1.5 M direct costs per year for 3 years to support research infrastructure and networks of institutions (24 awards; one per state).

Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE). $1.5 M direct costs per year for 5 years to support thematic, multidisciplinary research center (48 awards; not more than 1 submission per eligible institution). ND eligible for 2 more.
