Description
The Bridge Awards, part of Duke University's Provost's Research Support Program, are designed to provide interim funding to faculty who are awaiting the outcome of federal grant applications with a strong likelihood of success. These awards help maintain research continuity—such as retaining key personnel or sustaining essential project activities—during periods when federal funding decisions are pending. The program is structured specifically for domestic-based activities and requires a cost-sharing commitment from both the Office of the Provost and the applicant's home unit.
