Key Information: Requires 25% cost-share from applicant's unit and a support letter detailing the commitment.
This opportunity provides interim funding for Duke University researchers who are experiencing administrative delays in their existing federal awards (such as delayed non-competing renewals or no-cost extensions). Uniquely, it allows funds to be directed to international collaborators whose work is essential to the project and who lack alternative means of support. The program is co-funded by the Office of the Provost (75%) and the applicant’s primary unit (25%), requiring a formal support letter from the unit. The award is designed to maintain research continuity, especially when international contributions are critical and at risk due to funding disruptions.
