Development of research capacity, support for INBRE faculty associates and their research and fostering opportunities for undergraduate student research are the main ways the NE-INBRE program supports participating institutions.
The NE-INBRE program provides start-up funds for new faculty associates recruited to the undergraduate campuses in the form of grants to support the associates' individual research projects.
It also supports the enhancement of infrastructure on undergraduate campuses through laboratory renovations or the purchase of equipment and other major items.
These initiatives are essential in providing opportunities for undergraduate students to become associated with in-depth research on their home campuses.
