Boise State University Biomedical Research Institute
The Biomedical Research Institute (BRI) at Boise State University is a collaborative and multidisciplinary research hub designed to provide a supportive environment for interdisciplinary research and education. The institute concentrates on supporting the careers and professional development of students, staff and researchers in biomolecular and biomedical research interests. The BRI is home to the IDeA Programs Office (IPO), the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence in Matrix Biology, the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence in Convergent Engineering and Biomolecular Science, Clinical and Translational Research, and the Idaho INBRE Program Data Science Core and BSU INBRE student fellows program.
Shared core facilities include the Biomolecular Research Core Facility (BRCF) and the Fabrication, Characterization, and Testing (FaCT) Core. These units support current and future collaborative science by providing management, access to expertise and instrumentation, training, and networking opportunities to support our mission.
Boise State University Concurrent Enrollment
The focus of the Concurrent Enrollment Program is to provide quality university classes for high school students taught by approved high school instructors. Students gain access to university courses, build confidence in their academic ability and gain an early start on their college degree.

Idaho INBRE
The Idaho INBRE Program is an unprecedented statewide scientific network of research and educational collaborations. Our aim is to improve the health of all Idahoans by augmenting and strengthening Idaho’s capacity to do and sustain biomedical research and education. Two research-intensive universities, five primarily undergraduate institutions, four community colleges, and the Idaho Veterans Research and Education Foundation work together to create an integrated ‘pipeline’ to health research careers.
Organic Syntheses, Inc.
Organic Syntheses is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes detailed and checked procedures for the synthesis of organic compounds. A unique feature of the review process is that all of the data and experiments reported in an article must be successfully repeated in the laboratory of a member of the editorial board as a check for reproducibility prior to publication.
