The AAAAI Bridge Funding Award for Research Continuity provides short-term, targeted support to investigators whose highly competitive grant applications have completed peer review and council consideration but remain unfunded beyond standard timelines. Run by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, the program supports scientifically strong research programs with a high likelihood of future funding that are at risk because of temporary funding delays.
The award aims to preserve research momentum, prevent the loss of critical personnel, and sustain high-value scientific programs while funding remains pending. Support covers personnel, supplies, and other essential costs needed to keep research programs intact during a funding gap.
