Funder: American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society
Due Dates: October 9, 2026
Funding Amounts: Up to one award of $50,000 for one year; funds available March 2027
Summary: Temporary bridge funding for established neurogastroenterology researchers to sustain research during gaps between federal grants or renewals.
The Bridge Funding Award, offered by the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society (ANMS), provides temporary support to academic researchers in neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal (GI) motility who are experiencing a gap between federal funding cycles. The goal is to sustain productive research programs in basic, translational, or clinical science, specifically for investigators with a strong track record of federal funding and at least seven years of post-training experience. By bridging short-term funding gaps, ANMS aims to maintain research momentum and support the advancement of knowledge and patient outcomes in neurogastroenterology.
