Research Facilities Improvement
 

Research Facilities Improvement Program (RFIP) grants are provided to public and nonprofit private biomedical institutions to expand, remodel, and renovate or alter existing research facilities or construct new research facilities. Improvements under this program must support basic and/or clinical biomedical and behavioral research, and they may also support research training.

RFIP funding, provided by the NCRR Division of Research Infrastructure (DRI), supports new facilities; additions to existing buildings; completion of “shell” space; and alterations and renovations. RFIP grants do not support construction of “shell” space; instrumentation or moveable equipment, which is usually requested as part of the research project grant; or land acquisition or off-site improvements.
