è Research Funds to Promote Re-Entry into Biomedical/Behavioral Research Careers

The purpose of these supplements is to encourage individuals to re-enter research careers within the missions of all the program areas of NIH. This program will provide administrative supplements to existing NIH research grants for the purpose of supporting full-time or part-time research by these individuals in a program geared to bring their existing research skills and knowledge up to date.
Mechanism of Support. You may submit an application(s) if you are the Principal Investigator, at a domestic institution, who holds an active R01 (RL1), R10, R18, R22, R24, R35, R37, R41, R42, R43, R44, DP1, DP2, P01 (PL1), P20, P30, P40, P41, P50, P51, P60, U01 (Ul1), U10, U19, U41, U42, U54.

MRI is designed to increase access to scientific and engineering equipment for research and research training in our Nation's organizations of higher education, research museums, and non-profit research organizations. The MRI program encourages the development and acquisition of research instrumentation for shared inter- and/or intra-organizational use and in concert with private sector partners. This program assists in the acquisition/development of major research instrumentation often too costly to fund through other NSF programs. For proposals over $2 million, requests must be for the acquisition of a single instrument.  For proposals ≤ $2 million, investigators may seek support for instrument development or acquisition of a single instrument, a large system of instruments, or multiple instruments sharing a common or specific research focus.

COBRE seeks to promote the initiation and development or expansion of unique, innovative state-of-the-art biomedical and behavioral research at institutions in IDeA-eligible states. The research focus of this program encompasses the full spectrum of the basic and clinical sciences and also includes cellular and molecular biology, biophysics and biotechnology, genetics and developmental biology, pharmacology and other biomedical research areas.
