Opportunity Overview
The Idaho INBRE Data Science Core Technology Access Grant, or TAG, supports Idaho biomedical and behavioral researchers who need access to advanced technologies and resources available through the Idaho INBRE Data Science Core.
Funding and Availability
Projects may receive up to $15,000 for a 12 month project period. Requests must follow the existing Data Science Core fee schedule. Idaho INBRE states that the opportunity is open until further notice; no fixed closing date, clock time, or time zone is published.
Eligibility and Program Mechanics
Eligible applicants are Idaho faculty who meet Idaho INBRE eligibility requirements and whose biomedical or behavioral research requires Data Science Core technologies or resources. The program requires enhanced documentation, a Data Management Plan, annual progress reporting, and acknowledgment of Idaho INBRE and NIGMS support. Funding is sent directly to the Data Science Core and no subawards are issued.
Atlas Fit Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 72/100. The program is useful Idaho research infrastructure support with a genuine rolling funding path, but its narrow payment mechanics constrain vendor participation. N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The current program funds access to existing Data Science Core technologies and services and pays the Core directly. Atlas found no legitimate procurement pathway for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform or QC Healthcare under the published mechanics.
Outreach Classification
No applicant outreach is authorized from the Idaho lane on the current facts because no legitimate N9+ or QC Healthcare role has been established. Atlas will retain the opportunity as verified Idaho research funding intelligence and reassess if Idaho INBRE changes the program mechanics or creates an eligible external vendor pathway.
