The goal of the INBRE Pilot Research Project Program is to support faculty pursuing high-quality biomedical research projects that will be competitive for NIH R-type or other external health-related funding sources. Proposals must be single investigator and the maximum award varies from $35-50,000. Outstanding proposals from faculty in early-to-mid career stages (tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professors), particularly those who have not received substantial previous IDeA/INBRE support, will receive highest priority. Junior investigator applicants must identify a tenured faculty research mentor.
Collaborative Projects are research projects that engage University and Wyoming Community College researchers and students in projects with the potential to produce publishable results and develop into fundable programs at NIH and other federal agencies. The projects engage undergraduate students at the collaborating institutions and graduate students and postdocs at UW. Projects also help undergraduates develop into independent researchers and pursue pathways to the baccalaureate degree and graduate training in the biomedical sciences.
The goal of the Thematic Research Project Program is to provide support to junior faculty pursuing high-quality biomedical research projects that will be competitive for NIH R-type or other external health-related funding sources. Proposals must be single investigator and the maximum award varies from $75-100,000. Outstanding proposals from junior investigators (tenure-track Assistant Professors), particularly those who have not received substantial previous INBRE support, will receive highest priority. Junior investigator applicants must identify a mentor.
Wyoming INBRE provides graduate assistantships and other opportunities, as available, for supplemental funding to support peripheral research needs, such as equipment, travel, recruitment, administration, etc. Additional funding and educational opportunities are often available through our larger INBRE networks at RAIN, NAIPI, DRCB/NIGMS, NIH, IDeA. Keep an eye out on our home page for the latest news or join our mailing list.
Primary Investigators with active Pilot or Thematic awards give one Chalk Talk per year and attend all Chalk Talks as their schedules will allow. Former INBRE Pilot and Thematic awardees are welcome to attend to learn more about actively funded research efforts, such as Dr. Nicole Bedford's research on micturation (Chalk Talk diagram from February 2022 pictured right).
