Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP): Research & Pilot Grants<\/h3>\n

Support for partner faculty projects at 50% effort (Research Project<\/strong>) or 25% effort (Pilot Project<\/strong>). Either can be run collaboratively \u2014 a\u00a0Collaborative Research Project<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Collaborative Pilot Project<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 with a single PI at an NH-INBRE PUI partner and one co-investigator from a different PUI or a lead institution.<\/p>\n

ELIGIBILITY: <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

New Proposals.<\/em> Faculty members at a NH-INBRE partner institution whose research interests have biomedical relevance are eligible to apply for new Research or Pilot Project grants. This includes most faculty in the life sciences, including clinical researchers in nursing, as well as some whose proposed studies are in biomedically-relevant areas of environmental science, computer science, chemistry, neuroscience, psychology, and physics.<\/p>\n

Renewals.<\/em> Faculty who are Principal Investigators (PIs) on Research or Pilot Project grants that are currently funded by NH-INBRE who have made substantial progress on their prior Specific Aims are eligible to submit a renewal application to extend their work for one additional year.<\/p>\n

Biomedical relevance:<\/em> Projects should be related to the overall NIH mission to support biomedical research in a rigorous and reproducible manner.<\/p>\n

APPLICATION TYPE<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0<\/strong> Annual, proposals due October 1, 2026<\/p>\n

BUDGET: <\/strong><\/em>Research Project budgets are capped at $125,000 annually for two years and Pilot Projects budgets are capped at $50,000 for one year.<\/p>\n

NH-INBRE SEED Grant<\/h3>\n

OVERALL RATIONALE: <\/em><\/strong>This mechanism is designed for faculty researchers seeking new research results through new\/additional experimentation. \u00a0The ultimate goal is to create impactful preliminary data for new\/revised grant applications to INBRE and external\/non-INBRE sources, while at the same time jump-starting the collection of results leading to manuscript submissions.<\/p>\n

ELIGIBILITY:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Faculty engaged in biomedical research are eligible to apply. However, faculty who have received 5 years of funded research and\/or pilot grant awards effective June 1, 2026, are eligible to apply only<\/u>\u00a0if they are proposing an entirely new research direction or of a substantially new extension of previously performed or proposed work.<\/p>\n

APPLICATION TYPE<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0<\/strong> Annual, next round due Spring 2027<\/p>\n

BUDGET: <\/strong><\/em>Up to $20K (direct costs) maximum in $1K increments; up to 1.2 summer month PI salary support. Detailed budget required. The award will be directed to lead institute RSTG as a supplement\u00a0to be used specifically for the Seed Grant: \u00a0e.g. to support additional student researchers, technicians, supplies, services for shared instrumentation, other research or presentation costs.<\/p>\nView application details \u2192<\/span><\/a>\n
