Supporting genomics, multiomics, and data analysis for biomedical research
The current voucher cycle has ended
Applications for the 2026 Genomics and Data Science Core Facility Vouchers closed on October 30, 2026. Thank you to everyone who applied. Stay tuned for future cycles; new opportunities will be announced on this page.
Funding Opportunity Description
The WV-INBRE program is providing support for biomedical research projects in the form of vouchers to offset costs incurred in the SMART and/or Data Science core facilities. This solicitation is open to applications from investigators at WV-INBRE Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs), Community and Technical Colleges (CTCs) and Lead Institutions (Marshall and WVU).
Program Goal: To allow investigators to generate and analyze new genomics and multiomics data to increase competitiveness of NIH R01, R03 and other investigator-initiated proposals in the biomedical sciences.
