Find Funding
Bridge Funding
The expected outcomes of the TRAC Bridge Award are to provide support to help mitigate the effects of federal funding cuts on TB investigators through helping investigators complete and publish partially completed aims and sub-aims where feasible, pivot to new areas of TB-related research, develop new collaborations, and generate preliminary data for future grant applications.

Important Deadlines/Dates:
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through October 31,2025
Emory/Georgia TRAC Pilot Grants
The purpose of these pilot grants is to stimulate new research ideas, catalyze new research collaborations, provide resources for investigators to generate preliminary data to support external grant submissions, and attract established non-TB investigators to pursue multidisciplinary TB research. Application cycles open annually in order to award grants in the amount of $30,000 - $50,000.

Important Deadlines/Dates: Applications received for the Friday October 17, 2025 deadline are currently under review.
Accelerator Awards
The goal of the Accelerator Awards is to efficiently provide small amounts of funding to fill key funding gaps for targeted specific needs and overcome barriers for critical research.
Funds are intended to be used to:
- Support key research that will enable a new NIH application (F, K, or R series) expected to be submitted within the next 12 months.
- Gather data needed for a scored NIH application that is currently being revised for resubmission.
Deadlines – NEW!
- Applications received for the Friday October 17, 2025 deadline are currently under review.
- Another call for applications will be released in early 2026 for awards in TRAC year 5 which begins March 1, 2026.
The following categories of Accelerator Awards (with maximum amounts listed) will be available in 2025-2026.
- OPPORTUNITY AWARDS: Will provide up to $4,000 to conduct targeted and time-sensitive TB research activities. Funds should remove obstacles to carrying out research. Expected outcomes are a publication and submission of a NIH grant proposal within 12 months.
- XPERT REVIEW: Provide up to $1,000 to solicit outside reviews for a NIH R01 proposal. For those interested in this service, please contact Drs. Kempker and Blumberg to discuss.
