NM-INBRE At A Glance

New Mexico INBRE champions biomedical and community-based research excellence in the state of New Mexico through the development of innovative, supportive and sustainable research environments for faculty and students, community engaging health initiatives, while building a network of lead scientists and educators at the state, regional and national level.

RAIN

A collaborative effort of the Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming INBRE programs. That expands resource capabilities to address overlapping science questions specific to each state’s thematic umbrella.

Developmental Research Project Program

The programs mission is to create supportive research and training environments, facilitate communications & collaborations among participants, and provide access to core facilites

NISE

New Mexico INBRE Student Experience also known as NISE is an 8 week research experience that features four diffrent programs for students to apply to.

New Mexico IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research (INBRE) is housed at New Mexico State University, and collaborates with more than 10 partner institutions across the state. One of the goals of the funding is to continue building a nationwide, multi-disciplinary research network that will enhance the biomedical research base with lead scientists, educators and students.

R01, R21, and R03 NIH Funding Opportunities: Pros and Cons

The R01, R21 and R03 are the three most common NIH Research Project Grants (RPGs). The R01 is considered the “gold standard” of NIH grants. The small R03 and exploratory/developmental R21 grants should not be considered as “mini-R01s” but rather serve a specific purpose for investigators. Our presenter has
