Bridge Funding
The Department of Medicine recognizes a growing need to provide time-limited financial support (“bridge funding”) to selected existing departmental faculty who have a temporary lapse in external funding. Given limited resources, such funding can be provided only in exceptional circumstances.
In accordance with the 1997 Strategic Plan for Research, the School of Medicine has instituted a Bridge Funding Program to minimize disruption of existing research projects that have temporarily lost funding, but which received evaluations indicative of success in the next round of competitive review. Effective immediately, tenure-track investigators who meet the following criteria are eligible to apply for bridge funding from the Execultive Associate Dean for Research and Strategic Initiatives.
The NIH is taking specific steps to buttress investigators whose R01 applications receive review scores near the Institute or Center nominal payline and who have limited additional support. The NIH Director's Bridge Award (NDBA) was designed
to provide continued but limited funding for new and established grantees who
have submitted a competing renewal grant application that describes a highly
meritorious project. The continued funding will permit the Principal Investigator additional time to strengthen a revised application. The Guidelines for this award are similar to those described for the High Priority, Short-Term Project Award (R56). NDBA recipients will receive R56 awards for a single year.
