This could take the form of scholarship, convenings, policy briefings, and more. SNF Agora seeks to support and amplify this work through its institute and foster faculty collaboration across the university on ideas and efforts that can reinvigorate global democracy and the civic spaces that fuel it. Applicants can propose new projects or seek funding to supplement ongoing projects that are closely connected to SNF Agora’s mission. Eligibility: Full-time faculty from across Johns Hopkins University are eligible to apply: Berman Institute of Bioethics, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Carey Business School, Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, Peabody Institute, School of Education, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, Whiting School of Engineering.

| Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute | Baltimore Health Equity Impact Grant | $20,000 | April 17, 2025 | June 6, 2025 |
| The Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute (UHI) Baltimore Health Equity Impact Grants for Community-Based Research and Program Development is designed to stimulate and advance community-university collaborations around research and program development. Grants are awarded to those partnerships that most successfully demonstrate the potential for advancing health equity and well-being of the residents of Baltimore. The funding levels for each category are: Faculty–Community Research or Program Development Projects ($20,000 each); Graduate/Post-Doctoral Student–Community Research or Program Development Projects ($10,000 each); Undergraduate Student–Community Research or Program Development Projects ($4,000 each). In each category, students and faculty are required to partner with a community-based organization or agency and vice versa. Eligibility: For student-community projects, all undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctorate students at the Johns Hopkins University are eligible to apply. The student must remain enrolled for the duration of the project. All student awardees are required to participate in quarterly grantee training sessions. All student applicants must submit a signed faculty advisor checklist (see document list above). For faculty projects, those who are eligible include scientists, research scientists, research associate faculty members, assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors at all schools of the Johns Hopkins University. PLEASE NOTE: An individual can only receive one UHI Baltimore Health Equity Impact Grant (formerly, Small Grant) Award of each level during their career at the Johns Hopkins University. All projects require at least one collaborating community-based organization (CBO) in Baltimore and an individual identified within that organization who is a partner in the project. For this opportunity, we define CBOs as non-profits and local groups or coalitions serving the community. In most cases, CBOs exclude corporations (e.g., LLCs), but grassroots businesses, co-ops, or social enterprises that fit the mold can be considered. Prior to submitting your proposal, please verify that both the Johns Hopkins and community partners are able to remain involved throughout the course of the project. A change in partner status may lead to the forfeiture of funding.

| This Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute’s (UHI) funding opportunity is intended to advance health and health equity in Baltimore by supporting faculty working directly with the Baltimore City government. Funds will be awarded to proposals that respond to requests from the city government for specific assistance on significant projects that improve the health of the city. Examples of the types of activities that are eligible for funding include collaborating to draft a grant application on behalf of the city, conducting an evaluation of a city effort, a specific short-term research project to answer a question of interest to the city, a policy review and a memo with recommendations for a specific agency. Eligibility: Faculty from all schools of the Johns Hopkins University are eligible to apply (this includes scientists, research associates, assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors). All proposals require a collaborating Baltimore city (e.g., the Health Department) or quasi-city (e.g., The Family League) entity with an individual identified within that agency as the key partner on the project.

| Novo Nordisk, Evotec, and Johns Hopkins University | Novo Nordisk and Evotec LAB eN2 – Johns Hopkins University Collaboration | $4,000,000 | Rolling basis | About two months |
| Johns Hopkins University has entered into a research collaboration with Novo Nordisk and Evotec called LAB eN2 to accelerate the translation of academic discoveries into IND-ready candidates with the potential to improve patient care in cardio-metabolic diseases and rare blood disorders. The goal of the collaboration is to fund research at Johns Hopkins University facilitating the identification of new targets, disease biology insights and novel research tools for the treatment of cardio-metabolic diseases. Ideas for a proposed project should be submitted in a Project Concept Form to be considered for a full proposal application. Research areas of interest: Diabetes, obesity, chronic diseases, rare diseases, technology platforms, modality agnostic. Eligibility: All JHU faulty (assistant, associate, and full professors) are eligible to submit a pre-proposal.

| The Ignite Fund | The Ignite Fund | Typically $1,000 | Rolling basis | TBD |
| The Ignite Fund offers Hopkins student entrepreneurs access to funding throughout the academic year. The fund’s purpose is to support discrete tasks that will help move a venture forward. In focusing funding this way, we hope to provide student ventures access to capital at key moments. Applications must identify a single discrete task to be funded. Applicant(s) must clearly demonstrate how the task to be achieved by the funding will impact their venture’s next steps. All proposals will be considered, but, in light of limited funding, successful applications will emphasize how to make the most out of minor amounts. Eligibility: All ventures with at least one current JHU student founder. Ventures who have won Ignite Fund awards previously may apply again if they have completed the closing process (provision of final progress report and receipts) prior to their newest application.
