Society of Family Planning: Bridging Investments
Funding; Applications accepted on a rolling basis
Due date: Applications accepted on a rolling basis
Amount: Up to $100,000
The Bridging Investments funding opportunity from the Society of Family Planning is designed to ensure that important scientific work continues when NIH grants focused on contraception are terminated unexpectedly. This grant provides up to $100,000 to support the completion or partial completion of U.S.-based NIH-funded projects that lost federal support after January 20, 2025, helping safeguard against the loss of critical research and its potential contributions to equitable, evidence‑informed reproductive health care. Proposals—accepted on a rolling basis—must clearly outline how remaining project aims will be completed, include a justified budget and timeline, and align with the Society’s mission. The Society anticipates funding up to five projects each year (2025 and 2026), with awards announced within a month of submission and funds made available immediately upon approval. This opportunity does not support new research or projects that continue to receive NIH funding; instead, it aims to preserve ongoing scientific momentum in abortion and contraception research that might otherwise be lost due to politically motivated or abrupt funding terminations.
