National Center for Research Resources

The National Center for Research Resources is announcing a limited competition 
for competitive supplements to Biomedical Research Infrastructure Networks 
(BRIN) funded in fiscal year 2001.  The purpose is to further enhance the 
research capacity of institutions through collaborative partnerships to allow 
them to more fully compete for research support from the National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).  Successful applicants will receive supplemental awards in fiscal 
year 2002 to provide support to expand the statewide BRIN network, becoming more 
inclusive of undergraduate institutions, particularly minority serving 
institutions.  Support may be requested for alteration and renovation of 
research laboratories and animal facilities, instrumentation (particularly core 
laboratories), administrative and bioinformatics cores central to the function 
of the BRINs, and scientific research cores supporting new research venues in 
these states.  Eligible applicants are currently funded BRIN principal 
investigators.  The deadline for receipt of applications is April 19, 2002.

NCRR staff will contact all eligible applicants directly regarding application 
procedures and format.  Direct inquiries regarding programmatic issues to:
