Description
The ACG Bridge Funding program is designed to provide short-term financial support for established investigators in gastroenterology or hepatology who are experiencing gaps in federal research funding. The program aims to help researchers maintain the continuity of their independent research programs during periods between the conclusion of one federal clinical or translational research award and the potential renewal or acquisition of new federal funding. Applicants must demonstrate ongoing efforts to secure renewed federal support and provide detailed information on their prior federal research awards, current funding status, and future research plans.
