Funding Opportunities -
Bridge Grants
Bridge grants are a targeted funding mechanism and are awarded to faculty members to allow them to retain continuity of their research program while in the process of preparing a re-submission of a competing renewal for extramural grant funds.
Applications are accepted and
considered for funding three times each year, beginning on February
1, July 1 and October 1.
Restrictions and Eligibility to Apply for a Bridge Grant
- Granting Agency. Awarding of bridge grants is restricted to faculty preparing a resubmission of an extramural, indirect cost-bearing grant for the NIH, NSF, or equivalent granting agency that includes a potential for long term funding through competitive continuation.
- Competing Renewals. Bridge grants are restricted to those faculty in the process of applying for a competing renewal, as opposed to a new grant. A faculty member who is not awarded funding on an initial competing renewal application is eligible to apply. This includes all full-time faculty members in the clinical or basic science departments.
