The BDP team is responsible for providing strategic leadership for the Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships program. We serve these preeminent researchers as they fulfill the three-part mission of the BDP gift from Michael Bloomberg to incite and conduct world-class interdisciplinary research, teach the next generation of scholars, and collaborate across the divisional strengths of Johns Hopkins to solve critical challenges. With a customer service orientation, we are a concierge service to the BDP cohort across the pipeline from recruitment to ongoing support.
