Purpose: The
NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs invites qualified academic
institutions to apply for funding to modernize existing or construct new
biomedical research facilities through the Biomedical Research Facilities (C06)
program. Applications will be accepted from public and nonprofit private
institutions of higher education. Applications from both research-intensive
institutions and Institutions of Emerging Excellence in biomedical research
from all geographic regions in the nation are strongly encouraged. NIH
recognizes the importance of all institutions of higher learning in
contributing to the nation’s research capacity. The goal of this program is to
upgrade or create novel biomedical research infrastructure to strengthen
biomedical research programs.
The
proposed project must serve the applicant-defined institution-wide biomedical
research needs. Each project is expected to provide long-term improvements to
the institutional research infrastructure. Targeted are the modernization of
core facilities and the development of other infrastructure serving an
institution-wide research community on a shared basis.
