Eligibility Critieria
All three criteria must be met:
A. BRIDGING: A previous award must be demonstrated. This would include: i) For the most part, these awards will be given to projects seeking RO1 levels of funding, but other types of applications could be considered. ii) New unfunded federal applications that substitute for an “existing” research award.
B. NEED: Eligible applicants must have less than $500,000 in current total annual direct extramural and intramural funds (discretionary, start up, SaLaD, etc…). Individuals with start-up funds remaining in excess of $100,000 are not eligible.
C. POTENTIAL: The competitive renewal should typically have been discussed and scored if an NIH application, or received excellent or equivalent ratings from NSF or other federal applications. Proposals that have been triaged are not eligible for review.
