The University of Rhode Island’s Division of Research & Economic Development is pleased to announce The Rhode Island IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (RI-INBRE) is partnering with URI’s Plastics initiative to provide up to two additional seed opportunities at a max of $30,000. 

This INBRE seed track will support two awards in the environmental health sciences. Proposals must address the impact of plastics on human health to understand how the environment might influence the development and progression of human disease.

RI-INBRE is a statewide network designed to build the biomedical research capacity of Rhode Island institutions by supporting and developing talented individuals committed to research careers in Rhode Island. The research themes of the RI-INBRE program are: cancer, environmental health sciences, and neuroscience.
