Our History
IBRA was created in 2005 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to support the NIH Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program and associated global PhD and MD/PhD training programs based in the Intramural Research Program of the National Institutes of Health, America’s largest biomedical research organization. Its goal was to assure the financial viability and scientific excellence of the Scholars’ program by supplementing government funding.
In 2024, IBRA expanded its mission to supports programs that promote biomedical research excellence through events and scholarships designed to enrich and broaden the perspectives of researchers and their supporters in every stage of their careers as they train to become the next leaders in biomedical research.
