 Welcome
to the UNDSMHS homepage for COBRE.
COBRE,
an acronym for Centers of Biomedical Research
Excellence, was designed by the National Institutes
of Health to cultivate research expertise among
 junior
faculty and strengthen the research infrastructure
of states that do not receive as much NIH funding
as some large states.
In
2002, The University of North Dakota School
of Medicine and Health Sciences received a $10.4
million award from the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) to establish this nationally recognized
center of biomedical research excellence. This
five-year grant was renewed in 2007 for another
five-year period at $10.1 million.
The
grant will continue to support collaborative
projects at UNDSOMHS promoting research opportunities
for biomedical investigators in North Dakota
with broad potential for understanding and treating
pathophysiological and neurodegenerative diseases
as well as providing funds to establish the
Imaging
Center and the Mass
Spectrometry Center.
