About this opportunity
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences is seeking applicants for the Limited Competition: Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence: Expansion/Sustainability Phases (COBRE-E/S) program, with applications due May 25, 2029. Eligibility is restricted to institutions located in IDeA-eligible states (Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming) that award doctoral degrees in health-related sciences or operate as independent biomedical research institutes with ongoing NIH or other federal agency-funded research programs. Applicants must hold three or fewer active COBRE awards at the time of application submission, including those in no-cost extension. Foreign organizations and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible.
The program operates as a two-phase track with a maximum of ten years of support. COBRE-E (Expansion Phase, five years) builds research capacity by growing the institutional faculty base and supporting research projects and core facilities in new scientific areas. COBRE-S (Sustainability Phase, five years) continues faculty growth and consolidates research cores. Applicants must propose a sustainability plan during COBRE-E for implementation in COBRE-S.
Award budgets must not exceed $1.5 million in annual direct costs, excluding facilities and administrative costs, over the five-year project period. The Administrative Core requires a minimum of three person-months principal director/principal investigator effort and a maximum of six person-months total for all principal director/principal investigators. Required application components include an Overall component with sustainability plan and advisory committee structure, an Administrative Core, a required Scientific Research Program Core, and optional Research Cores. The principal director/principal investigator must be an established biomedical research scientist with administrative and mentoring experience, hold a primary appointment at the applicant organization, and maintain at least one active, peer-reviewed, externally funded research grant within the Center's scientific area.
The Assistance Listing number is 93.859 under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program. Applications will be peer-reviewed; only meritorious applications will be considered for funding.
Synopsis
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) supports 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. 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. This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a Limited Competition that will invite application(s) from eligible organization(s) to apply. Please see Section III. Eligibility for additional information. In accordance with NIH standard peer-review processes, the application(s) will be peer-reviewed, and only meritorious application(s) will be considered.
