AVÀÇÂÛ̳ INBRE development research pilot project funding opportunity
The AVÀÇÂÛ̳ IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence — AK INBRE 4 — provides pilot awards for developmental research projects in the biomedical and health sciences to partner institutions in AVÀÇÂÛ̳ to improve the competitiveness of individual researchers for winning ongoing support for research and graduate student training programs. AK INBRE 4 is supported by a grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
AK INBRE 4’s research themes of One Health and health disparities in AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Native people are opportunities for building research collaborations to address AVÀÇÂÛ̳’s needs for enhancing the health of individuals, families and communities. Pilot research project awards can support any compelling topic in basic, translational, clinical, biomedical or behavioral health research; however, projects that align with the One Health theme of the well-being of people, animals and the safety of their shared environment are given priority. Collaborative and interdisciplinary research are also encouraged.
