Funding Opportunities

This application is for a Maine INBRE Core Access Award, as outlined in the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Applications are accepted on a rolling basis during the grant year (May to April) until funds are expended. The Core Access Awards Program provides grant awards/vouchers to researchers from institutions engaged in biomedical research and research training within Maine. Faculty from Maine IDeA institutions (those with INBRE or COBRE programs); independent, non-profit research institutions; or public and private undergraduate institutions are eligible to apply for funding. These awards, which provide up to $5,000, can be used to support biomedical research using any Core facility in a northeast IDeA state (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Delaware) or other IDeA states, if services cannot be found regionally. *The submitted application must be pre-reviewed and pre-approved by the Core Director providing the proposed services. *Note: Scientists whose research is directly funded by a COBRE/CTR grant may not receive funding under this program. *Note: Any post-doc or graduate school applicants must attach a letter of support from the laboratory PI. *Note: This funding cannot be used for student compensation.
