TheInstitutional Development Award (IDeA)is a congressionally mandated program that builds research capacity in states that historically have had low levels of NIH funding. It supports competitive basic, clinical, and translational research, faculty development and infrastructure improvements. The program aims to strengthen an institution’s ability to support biomedical research, enhance the competitiveness of investigators in securing research funding, and enable clinical and translational research that addresses the needs of medically underserved communities. There are 24 IDeA-eligible states and territories and there are five components to the program:
Information hub for the State of w88 casino games IDeA network
IDeA programs at the w88 casino games, Reno
The w88 casino games, Reno currently hosts the state’s INBRE grant and two COBRE grants.
w88 casino games INBRE
w88 casino games INBRE builds research infrastructure in the state by providing funding and mentoring to early-stage investigators, enhancing programs to train the next generation of biomedical researchers through pipeline programs, supporting and providing access to research service laboratories and collaborating with other western IDeA states.

Center for Molecular and Cellular Signal Transduction in the Cardiovascular System COBRE
The COBRE program for Molecular and Cellular Signal Transduction in the Cardiovascular System builds capacity by directing support toward an existing, demonstrated area of multidisciplinary expertise. In addition to contributing research funding, the latest COBRE grant strengthens the University’s leadership in cardiovascular research and will serve as a powerful engine for expanding high-caliber research in northern w88 casino games and across the state.
