About Delaware INBRE
The Delaware IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (DE-INBRE) is a collaborative network of Delaware academic, health care and research institutions made up of five partner institutions: University of Delaware (UD), Delaware State University (DSU), ChristianaCare Health Services (CCHS), Delaware Technical Community College (DTCC), and Nemours Children’s Health (NCH).
DE-INBRE catalyzes multidisciplinary biomedical research initiatives that build Delaware’s biomedical research capacity and workforce. Its goal is to expand research activities across basic, translational and clinical areas throughout the First State while also increasing Delaware’s competitiveness for federal biomedical research funding. In doing so, Delaware INBRE supports impactful, state-of-the-art research that creates jobs, prepares tomorrow’s workforce and improves the health of Delawareans. This happens in three ways: by providing biomedical research opportunities for undergraduates; supporting early-career investigators on their quest to become independent researchers; and improving Delaware’s research infrastructure with a collaborative network of core facilities offering the latest research equipment.
Delaware INBRE is supported by a grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences Institutional Development Award [NIH-NIGMS: P20 GM103446] and the state of Delaware.
Delaware INBRE operates through five programmatic activities:
- Administration and Evaluation
- Centralized Shared Resources
- Bioinformatics and Data Science
- Student Research Program
- Developmental Research Project Program
Delaware INBRE’s goals are:
- Inspire Delaware’s undergraduates to pursue biomedical research careers while fostering their
success. - Develop early career biomedical research faculty into experienced investigators capable of driving
biomedical innovation in Delaware while training our next generation of biomedical researchers. - Eliminate barriers to cross-institutional sharing of high-end instrumentation and other resources so
that Delaware’s biomedical researchers have the tools for cutting edge research and training. - Grow Delaware’s Data Science research community to answer biomedically important research
problems.
