WY-INBRE Research Project (RP) Award — 2026–2027 Competition

About this program

The Wyoming INBRE Developmental Research Project Program (DRPP) at the University of Wyoming provides tiered biomedical research funding (Research Project, Pilot Project Type‑1, Pilot Project Type‑2, and student/CC‑UW collaborative awards) to advance faculty-led research, trainee mentorship, publications, and competitive NIH‑style grant submissions. Award levels vary by mechanism: Research Projects (targeting early‑stage investigators) offer up to $250K over three years and require 50% PI effort; PP‑1 supports early‑stage or established investigators branching into new areas or needing bridge funding (up to $100K/three years or $50K/yr, 25% effort); PP‑2 emphasizes student mentorship (typically $35K/yr, 15% effort). Applicants must register in the Wyoming INBRE Network Resources (WINR), may not hold simultaneous INBRE research funding with other NIGMS IDeA awards (e.g., COBRE, CTR‑IN), and should follow the published 2026–2027 LOI and proposal deadlines; the program is competitive and encourages faculty without prior substantial INBRE support to apply.
