Bridge Funding for Sponsored Research Projects

BRIEF

Policy Summary

Bridge funds are University of California (UC) funds that are used to temporarily cover funding requirements under certain conditions. UC authorizes Berkeley Lab to use these funds to cover non-DOE directly funded sponsored research, including Strategic Partnership Projects (SPP), Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs), DOE Integrated Contractors and Proprietary Users project costs under certain conditions. Bridge funding does not serve as a substitute for appropriate cash and funding management. It does allow for the start or continuation of research due to various sponsor timing issues. Agreements with sponsors that may represent a risk of becoming uncollectible are not candidates for bridge funding.

Who Should Read This Policy

All employees with financial responsibilities who use, manage, or report on bridge funding at Berkeley Lab.
