Funder: American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society
Due Dates: October 9, 2026 (application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Up to one $50,000 award for one year
Summary: Supports established academic researchers sustaining neurogastroenterology and GI motility research during a gap in federal funding.
Key Information: Applicants need a recently concluded or soon-ending R-level award and must have applied to renew federal funding.
The American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society (ANMS) offers the Bridge Funding Award to help established academic researchers sustain research programs in neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal motility. It supports basic science, translational investigation, and clinical research while investigators seek new or competitively renewed extramural funding.
Applicants must explain why bridge support is needed and how they expect to maintain their research program afterward. Recipients share their ANMS-funded work with the society’s scientific community through a meeting abstract and presentation.
