Regional Alliance of INBRE Networks (RAIN) Collaborative Research FOA Now Open

The Regional Alliance of INBRE Networks (RAIN) Collaborative Research FOA is available!
The purpose of the Regional Alliance of INBRE Networks (RAIN) FOA is to stimulate collaborative, biomedical research between two researchers in two Western IDeA states of Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

1. Stimulate interstate collaborative research project development for researchers from Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming.
2. Stimulate research collaborations with outcomes that include new lines of competitive funding that lead to publication and successful proposals for non-IDeA federal funding.
3. Investigators are encouraged to take advantage of INBRE Core resources and to include student researchers where possible.
