Bridge funding awards are intended to allow investigators who have recently lost funding from a national funding agency, after a sustained period of support, to maintain their research program while attempting to regain their funding.
It is expected that an applicant for bridge funding has support and the promise of a monetary contribution from the appropriate institutional administrator (e.g. Dean, Department Head, Foundation Chair, etc.).
The impact that the loss of the grant has on the applicant's overall research program and the likelihood that the applicant will be able to regain funding from a national agency following bridge funding are considered in the evaluation of bridge funding proposals. Applicants are only eligible for a Bridge Funding Grant once.
Deadline for applications for Bridge Funding Awards are:
