Funding Opportunities by Discipline

Research Bridge Funding

Bridge funds are available on a competitive basis from the Office of Research & Graduate Studies to provide temporary salary and fringe benefit support to non-tenure-related employees critical to sustaining research programs and sponsored activities in instances where an external research grant or funding source has expired, where a hiatus in funding would jeopardize the research, and where renewal of funding is expected in the near future. The funds are for one-time support only in cases where the Principal Investigator (PI) has experienced a significant reduction in extramural funding.ÌýThe Bridge Funding Program is not intended for 'pilot' or 'seed' funding.ÌýVisit the Research Bridge Funding page for more information.
