| Johns Hopkins ALACRITY Center | ALACRITY R03 Pilot Grant Program | $50,000 | Concept note due by 12/2/2024; full application for accepted concept notes due 2/3/2025 | Concept acceptance: 12/20/2024 Funding decision: TBD |
| The ALACRITY Center pilot grant program is an opportunity to serve as the Principal Investigator of a NIMH-funded pilot grant. The pilot grant program will support investigators conducting R03-scope studies on topics related to improving physical health among adults with serious mental illness and youth with serious emotional disturbance. Competitive proposals will make a clear case for how their pilot work will be leveraged into future NIH-funded research. Applicants can propose a research project lasting one or two years and request up to $50,000 per year. Funds may be used to support faculty salary, research assistant costs, and other research activities such as data purchase or collection. Funds may not be used for university overhead, clinical patient care, or the purchase of food. Concept notes are due to by 5pm EST on Monday, December 2, 2024. Applicants will be notified about the status of their concept note by December 20th. Applicants whose concept notes have been accepted to move forward to the next phase will be connected with relevant Center faculty to discuss their proposal. The deadline for full applications submission is by 5:00 pm EST on February 3, 2025. Eligibility: Eligible applicants include faculty (all ranks) with an appointment at Johns Hopkins University. Applicants from across all JHU schools and divisions are welcomed. Applicants new to the topic of improving physical health and reducing premature mortality in SMI are encouraged to apply. Interested grant recipients will be connected with a researcher with expertise in this field who will provide mentorship and guidance throughout the grant period.

| Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical & Translational Research | Johns Hopkins and Kaiser Permanente Collaboration Pilot Awards | $75,000 | December 18, 2024 | TBD |
| The KPMAS/JHM Research Collaboration Program seeks to fund 12-month research projects that highlight the effective synergy of the KPMAS/JHM collaboration in tackling the complex and intriguing questions vexing both health systems. Projects should be for initial research that leverages the unique capabilities of KP and JHM as learning health systems. Research may be based on prior efforts but should be unique and able to “stand alone” in its proposal. Funded projects are generally pilot projects that must be feasible for completion within the 12-month timeframe and will provide the necessary data for larger, joint grant applications working toward an external funding source. Eligibility: Funded projects will be managed by two co-PIs: one from Johns Hopkins and one from Kaiser Permanente. Applicants must be a physician in good standing or a research scientist at KP or equivalent at JHM and must have research experience.

| Johns Hopkins Gupta-Klinsky India Institute (GKII) | Sunil Kumar and Sumati Murli Research Award | $8,000 | January 13, 2025 | TBD |
| The GKII Sunil Kumar and Sumati Murli Research Award supported by the Sunil Kumar and Sumati Murli Student Training and Mentorship Endowed Fund established in honor of former JHU Provost Dr. Sunil Kumar and Dr. Sumati Murli is a prestigious award designed to support innovative research projects that foster collaboration between Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and India. This research award is part of the broader mission of the Gupta Klinsky India Institute (GKII) at JHU to promote academic excellence and deepen the university’s engagement with India. The program aims to encourage JHU PhD students to pursue groundbreaking research projects that address critical issues and opportunities in India; strengthen partnerships between JHU and academic, governmental, and non-governmental organizations in India; provide PhD students with the resources and support needed to develop and refine their research methodologies and skills; and enable students to travel to India for fieldwork, data collection, and collaboration with local experts and institutions. Eligibility: Applicants must be full-time JHU students currently enrolled in a JHU PhD program within any JHU school or division. Applicants must be enrolled as a full-time JHU PhD student during the one-year grant period. Applicants must be in good academic standing. Applicants must have successfully passed PhD program comprehensive exams to apply.

| 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.
