Sealy Bridging Grants Program
John Sealy Memorial Endowment Fund for Biomedical Research
Bridging Grant Awards Program
The John Sealy Memorial Endowment Fund for Biomedical Research (JSMEF) was
established in 1984 by the Sealy & Smith Foundation. The purpose of the
endowment is to promote biomedical research at the University of Texas Medical
Branch (UTMB). The JSMEF supports the Sealy Centers of Excellence and the Sealy
Grant Program. Since its inception, the Sealy Grant Program has received 1,308
applications and awarded 396 grants.
Currently, the focus of the Sealy Grant Program is to support Junior and Senior
Faculty Investigators whose unfunded federal grant applications have received
favorable reviews and scores. The Sealy Grant Program will "bridge" these
proposals by provided a limited amount of funding for one year. The goal of the
Sealy bridge funding is to allow the Investigator to carry out the work
necessary for submission of a fundable grant application. The
Sealy Grant Program is open to Investigators from all departments at UTMB.
Applications for both basic and clinical research are encouraged.
