NIH Awards Women & Infants $5M Grant to Study Perinatal Biology

摘要

PROVIDENCE – Women & Infants Hospital has recently received a nearly $5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support an Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) for Perinatal Biology. Of the more than 100 COBREs across the country, Women & Infants is the only one specif- ically focused on developmental research. The IDeA pro- gram 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.
