Bridge (Relief) Funding Opportunity

The Office of the Vice Provost for Research and Scholarship (OVPRS) is offering a one-time bridge funding opportunity intended to support faculty with ongoing research to pivot to new areas of research. We are specifically targeting faculty needing to:

  • Cover costs related to research/scholarship (e.g., paying graduate assistants to travel to study sites) 
  • Transition data collection efforts to a different modality and/or exploring new research/scholarly methodologies
  • Collect limited pilot data on a new topic which would support an application to an extramural funding agency
