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. NH INBRE grants support biomedical research projects through the development of productive research faculty who ultimately become competitive for extramural research funding. Research and Pilot Project grants provide substantial support for faculty research effort, supplies, training, and additional resources. Faculty awarded project funding will also receive institutional and scientific mentorship to assist in meeting milestones for submission of research publications and extramural grant applications.
The NH-INBRE Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Nursing at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center provides a 9-week (mid-June to mid-August) research experience for undergraduate nursing students. Selected students will work closely with faculty mentors on research and evidence-based practice projects. The program is designed to expose students to a wide range of experiences related to clinical and translational research in an academic medical center setting: from proposal development through study implementation and management, to clinical areas where evidence is applied and evaluated at the bedside. It also includes the opportunity to shadow clinical research nurses and advanced practice nurses (nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists) in the clinical setting.
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (iSURF) program provides a ~9 week summer research experience for undergraduate students. This full-time, immersion experience is designed for students who wish to acquire skills and knowledge that can be directly applied towards research careers and/or graduate studies in the biomedical sciences.
This appointment allows recent Ph.D. graduates and/or current research postdoctoral fellows, opportunity to be mentored by faculty member(s) at an INBRE Partner Institution, to more fully prepare for a career that will include teaching, and to develop maturity as a “teacher-scholar” faculty member at a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI). Fellows will participate in a federally-funded research program of a current member of the Partner institution that is relevant to the program goals of NH-INBRE. The fellow will contribute teaching efforts in support of faculty and departments with existing or proposed research reassigned time. Fellows may also have the opportunity to develop discipline-based or interdisciplinary courses or teach existing courses in their discipline.
The Start-Up Grant program aids in the recruitment of biomedical research-oriented/active faculty to any NH-INBRE-associated institution, other than the Lead institute, Dartmouth College (including the Geisel School of Medicine).
NH-INBRE primarily undergraduate institutional partner researchers have access to both Dartmouth and University of New Hampshire, Durham shared resources. Shared Resource Vouchers is a program that provides up to $5000 funding for shared resource support.
These travel requests are for RSTG-supported faculty who seek NH‑INBRE RSTG funds to support attendance at professional conferences, meetings, or workshops.
Supports completion of experiments for submission of publication(s) or extramural grant application for all Partner institution faculty engaged in biomedical research except those investigators receiving funded pilot or research project awards.
