Biomedical Pipeline Program

Truckee Meadows Community College’s Biomedical Pipeline Program: INBRE, the IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence, is a multifaceted 10-year grant funded by the National Institutes of Health.  Areas of focus include building programs to serve undergraduates and encourage high school students to pursue degrees in the sciences, and build a biomedical student pipeline program to prepare students at primarily undergraduate institutions for transitions to four-year research institutions for entry into graduate school.  More than 78% of students in the INBRE program are female, and more than 88% are first-generation students.
