Description: The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) invites applications for renewal of eligible Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grants. The objective of the COBRE initiative is to strengthen an institution&apos;s biomedical research infrastructure through the establishment of a thematic, multi-disciplinary center and to enhance the ability of investigators to compete independently for NIH individual research grants or other external peer-reviewed support. COBRE awards are supported through the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Program, which aims to foster health-related research by increasing the competitiveness of investigators at institutions located in states with historically low aggregate success rates for grant awards from the NIH. The goal of this FOA is to support existing COBRE Phase 1 Centers by further strengthening the research infrastructure and to continue the development and support of a critical mass of investigators with the expertise in the Center&apos;s scientific interest areas.
