About the Program
The Washington University School of Medicine Dean’s Bridge Funding Program is meant to help support a WashU Med laboratory during a gap in funding.
This program will prioritize funding to laboratories that have few other resources and might be at risk of downsizing to the point of being non-productive. The program will prioritize projects that have a high likelihood of obtaining extramural funding. It requires that an investigator have been awarded a substantial extramural grant (e.g., the grant being bridged) that has ended recently or is close to ending, and for which there have been efforts to renew or replace the extramural grant. The funding provided through this program is not sufficient to bridge all meritorious projects and preference will be given to those laboratories with limited resources that are likely to be refunded after a short gap. Importantly, these applications are read and evaluated by a panel of highly respected and busy faculty members.
