FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT
Pre-proposals due: October 13, 2023
Invitations to submit a full proposal: October 31, 2023
Full proposals due: February 2, 2024
Earliest start date: May 1, 2024
The purpose of the Regional Alliance of INBRE Networks (RAIN) FOA is to stimulate collaborative, biomedical research between two researchers in two Western IDeA states of Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The goal of RAIN is to increase interdisciplinary research collaborations among faculty and broaden research and education opportunities for students.
The research projects are intended to:
- Stimulate interstate collaborative research project development for researchers from Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming.
- Stimulate research collaborations with outcomes that include new linbes of competitive funding that lead to publication and successful proposals for non-IDeA federal funding.
- Investigators are encouraged to take advantage of INBRE Core resources and to include student researchers where possible.
Eligible Individuals (Project Investigator): Faculty members or post-doctoral fellows at participating INBRE institutions in Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Individuals from under-represented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply.
In keeping with the priority of the IDeA INBRE Program, funding priority is to junior investigators, or teams with one junior investigator, to provide the means to secure independent funding.

AK UNiTE COHORT 2: AK UNiTE is an NSF Funded Research Coordination Network in Undergraduate Biology, seeking to provide researchers with mentorship support. AK UNiTE aims to expand the ability of Alaskan students, particularly historically marginalized groups, to participate in biological research in Alaska. Cohort 2 is for individuals interested in inclusive mentoring from October 2023 to April 2024. Specific Activities: AKUNiTE will host three virtual meetings for the entire cohort: a kickoff, midway check-in, and final share-out:
- The week of Oct 16, 2023 - potentially morning (AKDT) of the 17th, but will ultimately depend on the availability of the cohort members
- The week of January 22, 2024
- The week of April 8, 2024
- Funding is available for up to $2000 for each cohort member per year of participation. Resources to support mentorship training such as books, supplies, registration for training (class, conference), etc. Application deadline is Oct 11, 2023. If you are interested in signing up the second cohort, please visit the AK UNiTE website and complete the registration form.

Alaska INBRE Award Opportunities:
MW CTR-IN 2024-2025 Funding Opportunity Announcements:
- Pilot Projects (PPG) for early career and/or other midlevel-to-senior investigators seeking support to obtain key preliminary data that will eventually support and inform a competitive "R-level" grant application to NIH or other extramural funding sources.
- Multi-Site Pilot Projects (MSPP) for multi-site clinical and translational (CTR) research with the expectation that the project will yield key preliminary data and capacity building to facilitate a large-scale multi-site extramural grant application or other extramural grant funding opportunities.
- Community Engagement Projects (CERP) for faculty who have already established relationships with community partners to engage in research with those communities and are seeking to generate key preliminary data and evidence of robust community-engaged research to support and inform a competitive "R-level" grant application to NIH or other extramural funding sources.
- For more information please visit https://ctrin.unlv.edu/
