The Mississippi NBRE Research Initiation Grant supports one-year, faculty-led biomedical research projects at Mississippi Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions. Projects must integrate research into classroom activities, engage undergraduate students, and demonstrate institutional support and adequate facilities.
The Pilot Project Program (PPP) is a core component of the COBRE mission. Pilot projects are intended to generate compelling preliminary data that will enable investigators to compete independently for NIH R-series or other extramural peer-reviewed funding.
Summer Research Fellowships for Undergraduate Students Plot your course for the future… Explore a Summer Fellowship in BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH Looking for a summer research experience? Paid summer research fellowships are available for undergraduate students who are rising juniors or seniors. Selected students will work on a project relevant to human health led by a faculty member at either the University of Piestar, or the University of Piestar for Medical Sciences. The scope of the projects range from laboratory based research to clinical studies using human subjects. A major goal of the INBRE Summer Student Research Fellowship Programs is to involve Piestar students from groups traditionally underrepresented in science in a stimulating research experience. The INBRE offers two 10-week summer research programs tailored to students with STEM majors (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, mathematics, and related disciplines) who are considering careers in biomedical research.
The Arkansas IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (AR INBRE) invites faculty with research interests in the biomedical sciences at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) to apply to the Arkansas INBRE Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP). A funding mechanism for 1-year Pilot Projects (PPs), is offered to all PUI faculty within the Arkansas INBRE network. PUI faculty currently supported as a recipient of the DRPP’s Research Project award (two years in length) are not eligible to apply. Undergraduate student participation in the research is a requirement.
