The National Institutes of Health is forecasting a limited competition in the Biomedical Research Environment & Sponsored Programs Administration Development (BRE-SPAD) Program to support resource-limited institutions in developing capacity to conduct rigorous biomedical research, with no application deadline stated in this forecast notice.

Eligible applicants are Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUs), federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes, tribal colleges or universities, tribal health programs, tribal organizations, consortia of two or more tribal entities, and resource-limited institutions with limited NIH Research Project Grant funding. Applicants must propose development plans addressing one or more of the following areas: biomedical research environment, sponsored programs administration, and a post-award pilot research project program.

The program operates as a cooperative agreement. Award amounts, number of anticipated awards, period of performance, and cost-share requirements are not specified in this forecast document. Applications will undergo NIH standard peer-review processes, with only meritorious applications considered for funding.

This opportunity is assigned to CFDA 93.859, Biomedical Research and Research Training, administered by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS).
