JDRF recognizes the need at this time to support the research of investigators whose research is being curtailed or delayed by failure to receive funding. It is beneficial and of mutual interest to both the scientific community and JDRF to keep these scientists in the field, to help them receive funding for their proposals, and to have them help accelerate the JDRF mission.
This award will provide one year of funding of USD 55,000 for research grant applications that address a high priority research area for JDRF, failed to receive funding but scored within 10% of the funding payline for a review cycle of a research funding agency up to a year prior to the request to JDRF. The goal of this bridge funding is to help investigators generate additional supporting data for an amended, competitive application.
Eligibility
Applications may be submitted by domestic and foreign non-profit organizations, public and private, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, units of state and local governments, and eligible agencies of the federal government. Applications must hold an MD, DMD, DVM, PhD, or equivalent and have a faculty position or equivalent at a college, university, medial school, or other research facility. There are no citizenship requirements for this program.
To assure continued excellence and diversity among applicants and awardees, JDRF welcomes applications from all qualified individuals and encourages applications from persons with disabilities, women, and members of minority groups underrepresented in the sciences.
Proposal
All applications must be completed using the templates provided on the proposalCENTRAL website.
Research Plan
The high-priority, short-term bridge award research plan may not exceed 2 pages, including figures and tables, and should indicate any changes in scope from the original application (revised specific aims) and in the timeline. Applications with research plans exceeding the page limit will not be reviewed.
Terms of the Award
The High Priority, Short-Term Bridge Awards will each provide up to USD 55,000 annually, including indirect costs, for up to one year. Indirect costs will be limited to 10%. This grant will be available for project applications only. The following application or grant types are not eligible:
New clinical trials or epidemiological studies
Multi-project applications (such as program grants)
Training grant applications
Applications that were triaged (or unscored) by the review process
Applications to JDRF that were not recommended for funding
Any type of Industry grant
Bridge funding request for an existing funded grant award
The award is always issued for a one-year budget period and may be extended for one year at no cost. However, the award will end if a subsequently amended application is funded or if another overlapping research grant is funded. You MUST inform JDRF when/if you eventually receive funding for the original project from the original funding agency. Awards are not renewable.
Awards may be used to obtain new data to support the feasibility or validity of the research, address reviewers' concerns, or revise approaches to the research. A final progress report and final expenditure report are required 2 months after the end of the grant period. The progress report must identify those portions of the original proposal pursued with the award and new funding that in part resulted from this award.
Applicants must agree to a statement to their funding organization giving permission for JDRF to receive confidential information. JDRF will contact the funding organization to determine the priority ranking of the application. Only applications that failed to receive funding but scored within the prior 12 months within 10% of the funding payline for the funding agency will be eligible.
