School of Medicine Bridge Funding

Renaissance School of Medicine (RSOM) Bridge Funding Announcement
 
RSOM Faculty requiring bridging may ask for a total of up to $100K (up to 50K from the Vice Dean for Research, matched by the same amount from their department). PI will have submitted an NIH R01 grant or equivalent during the last 1- 2 cycles and demonstrate in the application that the bridge funding is necessary to support their research program until their grant is funded. Any remaining intramural support, such as start-up finds, must be used first before the bridge funding.

Application for bridge funding must include (collated into one PDF File):

1. A letter to the Peer-Review committee with justification for requesting bridge funding and time frame for resubmission of their grants(s).
2. Chair's LOS for application and statement for matching funds. 
3. A current NIH biosketch.
4. A copy of a recent unfunded and reviewed grant proposal and summary statement.
5. Brief introduction page (response to reviewer comments) preferred but not required. 
6. Proposed budget for bridge funds.
7. Other support page (please include any start-up or intramural funds).
