The objective behind the ‘Bridge Grant’ is to support
- An ongoing Project likely to run into a short-term or temporary funding gap.
- A Faculty who had utilized Research Initiation Grant to commence his/her research but exhausted the funding available.
In both the above cases the PI/Faculty is bound to prove the efforts he/she had made to secure Extra Mural Funding for their Project/Research. The fund allotted under the ‘Bridge Grant’ Scheme has to be paid back to the University as soon as external funding is won by the PI/Faculty. An undertaking to this effort has to be submitted along with the application to the Office of The Provost.
