    • Bridge Funding Grants

    Both basic and clinical research projects are eligible for Bridge Grants. Bridge grants are available for full-time faculty. Applications are accepted from junior and senior investigators, including departmental chairs, division heads, and center directors. This program emphasizes support for faculty who have maintained an externally funded program, but are now experiencing a lapse in internal funding. The program may also support newly developed research projects that have been submitted to external agencies and received a very good review score, but were not funded. In this case, the funding is intended to help the project become more competitive through the acquisition of more preliminary data.

    Both basic and clinical research projects are eligible for Research Development Grant Funding.

    RFDG funding is available to full-time faculty . Its main purpose is to stimulate new research projects and thus is primarily intended for junior faculty who have not yet established independent research programs. This funding is also available to senior faculty who wish to expand their research programs in new directions.

    An RFDG is awarded on the assumption that the investigator will submit a grant to external funding agencies.

    Senate Research Grants for Research and Scholarship

    Senate Research Grants are designed to stimulate and support creative scholarship and research conducted by full-time faculty and to encourage development of additional support from other sources. Faculty on the regional campuses at Potomac State College, WVU-Parkersburg, and WVU Institute of Technology should seek support similar to that of the Senate Research Grant Program on their respective campuses.

    The Office of Sponsored Programs receives the applications for this program.

    Public Service Grant Program

    WVU Grants for Public Service are designed to stimulate and support public service projects conducted by members of the Faculty Assembly and other full-time regular employees, and to encourage development of additional support for these projects from other sources. WVU Grants for Public Service may support activities of a primary applicant, or they may support projects which involve other faculty, staff, and students (students must be under the supervision of a faculty member). The committee also recognizes that certain projects require one or more assistants in order to fulfill important objectives. Projects involving other agencies or organizations should contain an explanation of the relationship between that organization and the applicant.

    The Office of Sponsored Programs receives the applications for this program.
