About

KU Lawrence is eligible to pursue Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence Expansion (COBRE-E) funding in 2027, and recent updates to the COBRE program have created new opportunities for faculty interested in building large-scale research initiatives.

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) has revised the COBRE program, including a new structure and updated guidance for the expansion (COBRE-E) phase. To help faculty understand these changes and develop competitive concepts, KU is offering a webinar and follow-up networking opportunity focused on COBRE-E planning.

Participants will learn about the revised program structure, application expectations and strategies for developing strong COBRE-E concepts.

Featured speakers include:

Shelley Hooks, vice chancellor for researchScott Hefty, COBRE awardee and chair & professor of molecular biosciencesDoug Bornemann and Laura Mussulman, One KU Research Development staff
