Bridging/Interim Funding

Program Purpose

The purpose of the Bridging/Interim Funding program is to minimize the adverse effects of a lapse in external funding by providing productive scientists with temporary funding. This grant mechanism will support investigator-initiated research conducted by faculty in the UAMS COM.

Eligibility Requirements

Open only to current UAMS COM faculty with a major grant (e.g. R01, etc.) of at least 4 years duration, which is funded by a federal agency or private foundation paying at or near the full F & A rate. Extramural funding must have expired less than 12 months from the submission date, but applications can be submitted before the expiration of prior funding, although not before an investigator has learned that a renewal will not be funded. Applicants requesting bridge funding for non-NIH funded projects must contact the Office of Research for guidance.

*** Please be advised faculty can submit one project to each grant opportunity. ***

Key Dates

Application Due Date: Year round

Award Date: As soon as review is complete and a decision is made.
