Bella Initiative Grant Categories: High-Risk, High-Reward Discovery Science
Research in this mechanism of support pursues bold, unconventional hypotheses or cutting-edge methodologies to explore uncharted biological territories relevant to tobacco-related diseases and cancer. This research challenges existing paradigms, investigates counterintuitive phenomena, or develops innovative approaches that may appear technically unfeasible. The high-risk nature stems from possibilities that novel hypotheses prove incorrect or new methods fail to yield interpretable data. The high-reward potential includes groundbreaking discoveries that fundamentally alter disease understanding, identify new therapeutic targets, or elucidate previously unknown pathways spawning multiple research directions.

The intent of this grant mechanism is to provide interim support for promising investigator-initiated research projects that have been highly rated by national panels of peer reviewers in recent federal competitions but were not funded due to budgetary constraints. In the case of this competition, no more than 18 months may pass between having received a funding decision by a federal agency and submission of an application to the program. Allowable federal competitions include but are not limited to those conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs, the National Science Foundation, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Health Resources and Services Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the United States Food and Drug Administration. To be eligible, applicants must have submitted a multi-year, investigator-initiated research application to a federal agency (such as an NIH R type). The applicant must have received a peer-review summary statement indicating high scientific merit. For purposes of this competition, “high scientific merit” is a percentile ranking within five percentile points of the respective federal funding stream’s pay line or a score of two or better for federal funding streams that do not provide a percentile rank with peer-review results.

Overall, private foundations offer the greatest number of grants in Florida. Even though federal grants are larger in size, keep in mind that they usually have stricter compliance requirements.
Based on the data available, the best time to apply for grants in Florida is in Q1, which is when about 27.5% of deadlines for grants land. This period offers nonprofits the most opportunities to secure funding. Comparatively, Q3 is the grant period with the least activity, with only 22.6% of grant deadlines. To maximize your odds of winning grant funding, be aware of the peak fundraising periods and plan accordingly.
The nonprofit funding landscape throughout Florida has shown significant activity over the past several years. According to IRS reports, overall grant funding reached $10.3 billion in 2021 and then rose to $13.8 billion in 2022—a 34.12% increase.
