ARD Bridge and Revision Funding
The ARD Bridge and Revision Funding from Nebraska Agricultural Research Division helps IANR faculty strengthen and resubmit promising, unfunded research proposals by supporting ongoing scientific work.
Funder: Nebraska Agricultural Research Division
Due Dates: Rolling (applications accepted throughout the year)
Funding Amounts: Up to $50,000 for one year; matching funds from unit usually required.
Summary: Supports IANR faculty at Nebraska with strong but unfunded extramural proposals to sustain research and enhance resubmission competitiveness.

Description
This program is designed to help University of Nebraska–Lincoln Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources (IANR) faculty with ARD appointments whose recent applications for extramural research funding received strong reviews but were not funded. There are two main funding categories:
- Bridge funding: Provides support to sustain research momentum between grants, especially to maintain project staff and research activities while reapplying for extramural funding.
- Revision funding: Assists faculty in revising and resubmitting promising proposals to federal agencies or foundations, addressing reviewer feedback and collecting additional data as needed.
The program is not intended for seed funding for new research directions, but rather to maintain continuity and increase the likelihood of future external funding.
