Alaska INBRE seeks research proposals from faculty
January 8, 2016
The Alaska IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence is requesting proposals for 2016-2017 faculty pilot research projects. The submission deadline is March 1, 2016.
The primary objective is to provide support for projects in the biomedical and health sciences to faculty at any University of Alaska campus involved in biomedical and health research.
The Alaska INBRE program focuses on interfaces among environment, behavior, health and disease in people and animals. Pilot projects should align with these research focus areas. Projects unique to Alaska’s environment, populations and exposures receive priority.
This Alaska INBRE Faculty Research Pilot Award is a 12-month award with up to $75,000 in direct costs awarded for one investigator and $125,000 in direct costs for multiple investigators working collaboratively on one project. Priority goes to fund highly ranked proposals that are:
- from faculty members who can demonstrate how funding will expand their professional development.
- aligned with INBRE’s biomedical and health initiatives.
- lack other funding sources.
- collaborative.
- likely to attract extramural funding from the National Institutes of Health.
The full announcement and application instructions can be found on the Alaska INBRE website at www.alaska.edu/inbre.
Alaska INBRE is funded by NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences through the Institutional Development Award program. The program broadens distribution of NIH funding to reach rural and medically underserved communities.
