VIBRANT at University of Michigan:

A PROGRAM TO REACH AND SUPPORT NEW INVESTIGATORS

In collaboration with the NIH/NIDDK, the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers launched the nationwide VIBRANT program to support new independent biomedical research investigators.*

The MMPC-Live VIBRANT program aims to create opportunities for increased networking and to enhance chances of funding through innovative support services. It provides pilot funding, phenotyping services, training, and other resources designed to support new investigators scientific success. The resources and activities developed by the MMPC-Live VIBRANT program are designed to improve the ability of these researchers to compete for independent funding.

* A PD/PI who has not previously competed successfully as a PD/PI for a substantial independent research award is considered a New Investigator. For example, a PD/PI who has previously received a competing NIH R01 research grant is no longer considered a New Investigator. However, a PD/PI who has received a Small Grant (R03) or an Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21) retains his or her status as a New Investigator. The list of NIH grants that a PD/PI can hold and still be considered a New Investigator can be found here.
