The Bridge to Success Grant helps mid-career and senior investigators in sleep and circadian science revise and resubmit unfunded federal grant proposals, supporting continued research progress.
Funder: American Academy of Sleep Medicine Foundation
Due Dates: January 4, 2027: Full application deadline (Next Application Due Date)
Funding Amounts: Up to $100,000 for a 1-year project; indirect costs capped at 8%.
Summary: Provides bridge funding to mid-career and senior investigators in sleep/circadian science to revise and resubmit previously unfunded multi-year federal grant applications.
This opportunity supports established mid-career and senior investigators working in sleep and circadian science who are at a critical point in their research careers and need funding to revise and resubmit previously unfunded, investigator-initiated federal grant applications (e.g., NIH R01, VA Merit, PCORI). The grant aims to sustain research momentum, address key unanswered scientific questions in sleep health, sleep disorders, or circadian biology, and facilitate subsequent publication and future federal funding.
