The University of Connecticut EMERGE Program provides short-term (<12 months) essential support when external funding for an investigator has been interrupted due to circumstances (broadly related to recent changes in federal policies and priorities) beyond the investigator’s control.
This program is provided through a collaboration among faculty, departments, and schools/colleges, centers/institutes, the OVPR, and the Provost’s Office. The distribution of EMERGE funds is contingent upon contributed funds from faculty, departments, schools/colleges, and/or centers/institutes based on existing unrestricted funds available.
EMERGE funds will be available in two phases. Phase 1 is limited to emergency, non-cancellable, university-obligated costs that are not recoverable as unavoidable costs on the project. Phase 2 provides bridge or seed funding to support an investigator in pursuing alternative funding mechanisms.
