Funding Details
Requirements: Eligibility Criteria
The following individuals are eligible to apply for this grant.
Active members of the Child Neurology Society or membership application is in process.
Have submitted their first NIH R01 or CIHR Operating/Project proposal during the past two years, and that grant was scored in the peer-review process but fell below (or is likely to fall below) the NIH or CIHR pay line.
Investigators with K-Award (or equivalent) funding that will expire prior to the potential funding of their first R01 grant are eligible to apply, but current K-level funding is not a prerequisite.
Investigators whose only federally funded grant is an R03 or R21 (or equivalent) award, and who are now re-submitting their first R01 or Operating/Project Grant, are eligible.
Other info: The Pediatric Epilepsy Research Foundation® (PERF®) in partnership with the Child Neurology Society (CNS) offer the PERF®-CNS Bridge Grant Program to retain child neurology researchers. This program is designed to provide bridge funding to promising child neurology researchers who are applying for their first independent National Institutes of Health (NIH) or Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) research support. Through this grant mechanism, PERF® and CNS aim to assist investigators who have applied for their first NIH R01 or CIHR Operating/Project Grant support but were not funded.
The 2025 deadline will be posted Fall 2024.
