SD INBRE History
The National Institute of General Medical Science (NIGMS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program. The South Dakota IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (SD INBRE) received its initial three years of funding from this program starting in 2002. Since then, four consecutive five-year grants have been awarded with a fifth award pending. To date, SD INBRE has brought over $78 million for research into South Dakota, and that number will continue to grow with the anticipated support for our network through 2031.
