Faculty Bridge Funding Program

The purpose of the Bridge Funding Program is to provide interim resources to Syracuse University faculty to ensure the continuation of research efforts that have demonstrated a high likelihood of securing federal funding. It is intended to support the research activities of projects for which no other funding resources are immediately available. Bridge Funding is not intended to seed-fund new research projects, to support new directions in research, or to restart research programs that have not received external funding for more than three years. Awards, if approved, will be made on a rolling basis. Proposals should be submitted at least one month prior to the necessary start date to allow for review and processing time.

Faculty Creative Activities and Research (FCAR) Grant Program

The purpose of this intramural grant program is to support research and creative endeavors and increase high-quality scholarly output by Syracuse University faculty. This new program is focused on quickly and effectively providing resources to faculty to conduct research and creative activity and to explore new areas or methods of inquiry. We anticipate that the FCAR Grant Program will be offered three times annually to provide maximum flexibility for faculty to request funding. Funding will roughly align with project starting in the fall semester, spring semester, and summer.
