6. Bridge Funding The purpose of the bridge funding program is to support investigators with established clinical or basic research programs during periods when a competitive renewal or “next stage” application is not funded. The originating grant must have received full indirect costs. Examples of eligible grants include competing R01 and NSF renewals and new R01 resubmissions that were initiated by an R03, R21 or K award. Bridge funding awards will not exceed $60,000. Awards will be co-funded by equal contributions from the Dean’s office and the Department where the original award was assigned. The award period will be for one year. Application deadlines for bridge-funding will be April 15th, August 15th, and December 15th of each year.
