<p class="MsoNormal">The CALS Bridge Funding program provides financial support to minimize disruption of existing research programs and projects that have temporarily lost external funding but show high promise of success in the next round of competitive review,
in particular for proposals that just missed the payline or were ranked highly but not funded.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Please submit the requested documentation to me by email before
<span style="color:#0070C0">September 5<sup>th</sup>, 2017</span>.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The details of this application can be found at: <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">• A brief letter (1-2 page) describing the reason for the request, the amount and duration of requested funding, the likelihood of receiving future funding, the grant proposal resubmission date (past or future), and the benefits of the
