Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence: Expansion/Sustainability Phases (COBRE E/S)

<p style="margin-left:0in;">The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program supports biomedical research capacity building in states that have historically received low levels of NIH funding.

The Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence: Expansion/Sustainability Phases (COBRE-E/S) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will support the expansion and sustainability of biomedical research centers in IDeA-eligible institutions.

These centers will focus on building research capacity in broad scientific areas of strategic importance for the institutions.</p><p>The goal of COBRE-E is to expand research capacity by growing the institutional faculty base and supporting research projects and core facilities in the new area.

The objective of COBRE-S is to sustain the infrastructure by continuing the growth of the faculty base and consolidating research cores.

Applicants are expected to propose a sustainability plan during the COBRE-E Phase for implementation in the COBRE-S Phase.&nbsp;</p>
