Bridging Support. In cases where external funding has been terminated, bridge funding for the compensation (salary and/or benefits) of the Research faculty member by the University of up to nine (9) months will be available for the Research faculty member who has served six (6) or more consecutive years at the University in a Research position and has, in the judgment of the Xxxx, a history of satisfactory review. If a research faculty member with more than six (6) consecutive years of service with the University in a research capacity has met the criteria below, he or she shall then be entitled to up to nine (9) months of health insurance continuation with the same premium contributions as would apply to other faculty members. In other instances, the Xxxxxxx shall review these criteria and shall decide in his or her discretion whether or not to offer bridge funding, and if so, to what extent. Such funding will only be provided if the faculty member has made demonstrable progress towards the attainment of new grant funding, or is named as an expected member of a proposed grant team. In the event that an unexpected cessation of grant funding makes such preparation impossible, a faculty member who would otherwise qualify for bridge funding may be recommended for such funding to the Xxxx by the Department Chair or equivalent. As soon as is practical after it is known that bridge funding would be needed, and before expiration of the faculty member’s funding, the Research faculty member shall meet with the Department Chair and Xxxx or Xxxx’x designee to determine what continuing or alternative duties would best serve the University. The following factors shall be considered in evaluating bridging support applications: The quality and significance of the researcher’s work The researcher’s past experience in obtaining external support for his or her work The researcher’s potential for obtaining such support in the future Evidence that the applicant has submitted a grant application for which a funding decision is expected within nine (9) months by an external agency or is named on a pending grant application Evidence that the researcher’s work is in keeping with unit and institutional priorities and A statement by the applicant’s Xxxx or Director that supports the bridge funding applica- tion

(a) In cases where external funding will terminate, bridge funding for the compensation (salary and/or benefits) of the Research faculty member by the University of up to nine (9) months may be available for the Research faculty members as described below. In all cases where a new grant has been awarded, and where there is a definite date for the start of the new grant, bridge funding shall be automatically approved if the hiatus period between the start date of the new grant and the expired grant is one month or less. The FTE will be either the FTE of the expired grant, or the FTE of the new grant, whichever is smaller. If a research faculty member with more than six (6) consecutive years of service with the University in a research capacity has met the criteria below, he or she shall then be entitled to up to nine (9) months of health insurance continuation with the same premium contributions as would apply to other faculty members. In other instances, the Xxxx shall review these criteria and shall decide in his or her discretion whether or not to offer bridge funding, and if so, to what extent.
(b) In all cases, the Xxxx shall decide in his or her discretion whether or not to approve bridge funding, and if so, to what extent.

(c) A research faculty member who has served three (3) or more consecutive years at the University as a research faculty member and who has made demonstrable progress towards the attainment of new grant funding, or is named as an expected members of a proposed grant team, and believes he/she meets the criteria in Section ii.(g) below may request bridge funding.
(d) As soon as is practical after it is known that bridge funding would be needed, and before expiration of the faculty member’s funding, the Research faculty member shall meet with the Department Chair and Xxxx or Xxxx’x designee to determine what continuing or alternative duties that could be performed during a bridge period would best serve the University.
(e) Requests shall be submitted to the Xxxx’x Office (or equivalent) no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the grant funding. The faculty member’s request should take the form of a brief written narrative to the Xxxx that addresses each of the following: • A discussion of the circumstances that have led to the need for bridging support • A description of the researcher’s proposed program of research for the next two (2) years. • A statement of the amount of time for which bridge funding will be need...
