This RFP replaces the 2021 “Stephen I. Katz Bridge to R34” RFP and allows greater flexibility for investigators to pursue future extramural funding. Instead of focusing on future funding solely through a NIAMS R34 grant, this new award aims to allow investigators to consider funding opportunities most closely aligned with their proposals including, but not limited to: NIH, PCORI, DoD, or other Foundation grants.
