The Institutional Development Awards (IDeA) program supports biomedical research capacity building in states with historically low NIH funding. The COBRE-D program aids institutions in IDeA states to enhance biomedical research capacity in strategic scientific areas with limited existing infrastructure or expertise. It focuses on recruiting and mentoring early-career investigators, establishing research facilities, and improving research administration support. This limited competition invites eligible organizations to apply, with applications undergoing NIH peer review.
