Bridge Grant
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation introduces a new funding opportunity for researchers whose projects are in jeopardy due to the decreased funding available from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). ALSF’s Bridge Grants are intended to keep scientist’s projects on track while they reapply for NIH funding to ensure novel childhood cancer research projects are not compromised. ALSF’s Bridge Grant awards will provide $100,000 for 12 months to be used for supplies, personnel or the Principal Investigator’s salary.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Project must have been previously funded by an NIH R01, R03, R21 or P01 Award. (R01 Supplements are not eligible for Bridge Grants.)
- Researchers must have applied to the NIH for an R01 or P01 renewal for an ongoing project or to continue the project via new R01 or P01 within the last 6 months.
- The application must have been scored ≤25th percentile, but outside of the agency’s fundable range.
- Applicants must be reapplying for an R01 or P01 Award from the NIH within the next two NIH Grant cycles.
- Projects must be aligned with ALSF’s mission, thus focused on better diagnosing or curing childhood cancers.
- Funds may be used for supplies, personnel or PI’s salary and may not exceed $100,000. ALSF does not pay indirect costs.
Application Process:
- To expedite the application progress, ALSF’s Scientific Advisory Board will review the previously reviewed NIH application along with any changes that have been made in response to feedback from NIH reviews.
- A cover letter, summary statement, response to NIH critique and budget will be required by all applicants.
- All applications must be submitted via ALSF’s online application.
Springboard Grant
ALSF’s offers the Springboard Grant in response to cut-backs in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding of new R01 and P01 applications. The Springboard Grant is designed to jump-start new projects with high impact potential for childhood cancer research while other funding is sought. Awards will provide $100,000 for 12 months to be used for supplies, personnel or the Principal Investigator’s salary.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Researchers must have applied to the NIH for an R01 or P01 award within the last 6 months. (R01 Supplements are not eligible for Springboard Grants)
- Applications must have scored ≤20%, but outside of the agency’s fundable range.
- Applicants must be reapplying for an R01 or P01 award from the NIH within the next two NIH Grant cycles.
- Projects must be aligned with ALSF’s mission thus focused on better diagnosing or curing childhood cancers.
- Funds may be used for supplies, personnel or PI’s salary and may not exceed $100,000. ALSF does not pay indirect costs.
Application Process:
- To expedite the application progress, ALSF’s Scientific Advisory Board will review the previously reviewed NIH application along with any changes that have been made in response to feedback from NIH reviews.
