Funding Opportunities

NH-INBRE Funding Opportunities

 

NH-INBRE Research and Pilot Grants:

Partner faculty may submit requests for support for projects in which they commit 50% effort (Research Project, RP) or 25% effort (Pilot Project, PP).  Both types of projects can be collaborative and are called Collaborative Research Projects (CRP, 50% effort by the PI) or Collaborative Pilot Projects (CPP; 25% effort by the PI). Collaborative projects must have a single PI from an NH-INBRE PUI partner and one Co-Investigator from a different PUI or one of the lead institutions.

Application Portal Closed

NH-INBRE Seed Grant: to provide 1-year of funding (potentially renewable) to test new research idea(s) – entirely original areas of investigation for the investigator or a substantially new extension of previous work.

Proof-of-principle experimentation is one particularly relevant type of overall approach but other approaches may be responsive.  Preliminary data are not required for a competitive submission.

Application Portal Closed

NH-INBRE Targeted Incentive Grant: to expedite submission of-

  • A) Manuscripts (especially data driven; reviews will be considered; however not letters to the editor, etc)
  • B) New/ Revised Grant Applications to national funding sources (NIH, NSF, and/or foundations)

For PIs with research results that are far enough along that additional experimentation and writing will reach submission by no later than:  papers: 6 months; grants: 9 months from TIG submission date
