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.
This mechanism is designed for faculty researchers seeking new research results through new/additional experimentation. The 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.
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.
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.
