The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) funded 27 Institutional Development Award (IDeA) grants in fiscal year 2017. These grants are expected to total approximately $61.5 million over the next five years. The grants were issued to 25 institutions in 16 states across the nation.
IDeA builds research capacities in states that historically have had low levels of NIH funding by supporting basic, clinical, and translational research; faculty development; and infrastructure improvements. The program also enhances the ability of investigators to compete successfully for additional research funding and serves the research needs of medically underserved communities.
The IDeA program includes:
