New NIH Program: Biomedical Research Environment & Sponsored Programs Administration Development (BRE-SPAD)
The program is called Biomedical Research Environment & Sponsored Programs Administration Development (BRE-SPAD). The aim is to promote broad participation in biomedical research by supporting resource-limited institutions to conduct research, enhance their research environments, and increase sponsored programs administration capacity. Organizational eligibility for BRE-SPAD is restricted to resource-limited institutions as defined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity: PAR-24-268.
There will be an informational webinar on November 22, 2024 from 1-2:30pm Eastern Time. In addition, the BRE-SPAD program webpage has guides and videos that highlight aspects of the program, assistance on how to determine eligibility, information on application preparation and submission, and a suggested list of things to do before applying.
If you have any questions after viewing the website, please feel free to email me at [email protected]. Please note that if you reply to this email, the message will be sent to that mailbox to ensure we keep track of your email enabling a prompter response.
On a related note, if you are familiar with the NIH Bridges to the Doctorate Program, when it was recently reissued, the eligibility changed such that now all HBCUs can participate as the Master’s-Training Organization, including those that offer biomedical Ph.Ds.
