Limited Competition: Biomedical Research Environment & Sponsored Programs Administration Development (BRE-SPAD) Program

The Biomedical Research Environment & Sponsored Programs Administration Development (BRE-SPAD) Program supports resource-limited institutions to develop and strengthen their capacity to conduct rigorous and reproducible biomedical research. Eligible organizations are expected to propose plans based on identified needs in one or more of the following areas: biomedical research environment, sponsored programs administration and a post-award pilot research project program. By supporting research capacity building at resource-limited institutions, the BRE-SPAD program will expand and strengthen the pool of faculty and trainees conducting rigorous biomedical research, and the organizational settings where NIH-funded research is performed. This is a Forecast for a Limited Competition that will invite applications from eligible organizations to apply. Please see the Eligibility Section for additional information.
