Deadlines
September 3, 2010 Announcement of RFA
September 17, 2010 Letter of Intent October 8, 2010 Full proposal Due
October 29, 2010 Announcement of Award
Objective
The purpose of this RFA is to solicit a new project for the INBRE program. Current LBRN pilot projects will be expected to submit a project to be considered for enhancement to a full project.The expected start date for this project is December 1, 2010 – April 30, 2015 for the first year of funding. The selection and distribution of these projects by the Steering Committee will be based on the quality of the proposal and the needs of the INBRE program.

The National Institutes
of Health (NIH) Institutional Development
Award Program (IDeA) was established in 1993 to broaden the geographic
distribution of NIH funding for biomedical and behavioral research. The
program fosters health-related research and enhances the
competitiveness of investigators at institutions in 23 states and
Puerto Rico. The program also serves unique populations, such as rural
and medically underserved communities, in these states. The IDeA
program is supported by the National Center for Research Resources
(NCRR) Division of Research Infrastructure.
The IDeA program has two
components, Centers of Biomedical Research
Excellence (COBRE) and IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence
(INBRE).
COBRE programs build
multi-disciplinary research centers with a
thematic scientific focus. Junior investigators graduate from the
program after they obtain NIH competitive funding on their own.
INBRE programs enhance
biomedical research capacity in primarily
undergraduate institutions in alliance with LSU, as a major research
institution in Louisiana.
RCMI programs enhance the
research capacity and infrastructure at
minority colleges and universities that offer doctorates in health
sciences. The program serves the dual purpose of bringing more minority
scientists
into mainstream research and enhancing studies of minority health. The
RCMI is also supported by NIH NCRR.
First in U.S. - LSU Access Grid in Life Sciences meets Global Quality Assurance standard
Tuesday, November 11 2008 @ 10:56 AM CST Contributed by: JohnQ
The LSU Life Sciences Access Grid node has become part of the Global Quality Assurance Program for Access Grid nodes. This program was built by Jason Bell at CQU in Australia to provide and maintain a high standard of communication between Access Grid node sites and presented at previous Access Grid Retreats. An increasing number of nodes are meeting or requiring this level of quality assurance or "QA". Nodes in Australia, Canada, and England, with several others around the world have met this requirement. LSU is the first in the U.S. to do this.
Anyone meeting with a site that has been QA'd will know they are meeting with a site that meets a high level of quality without wasting time troubleshooting networking, audio, and operational issues. In addition, this node is able to begin QA'ing other nodes in the state of Louisiana. A list of available testers are listed here: http://www.accessgrid.org/qatesters
The list of registered Access Grid nodes on the Access Grid website here: http://www.accessgrid.org/nodes, nodes that are QA'd are checked in red. LSU's Life Sciences node, listed here, was the first in the state to be built in 2002 with the help of funding from then LSU Capital (now CCT), the LSU College of Basic Sciences, and funding from NIH IDeA program is gratefully acknowledged on this website.
