Johns Hopkins University Programs

HOUR is proud to offer a number of programs for registered Hopkins undergraduates to help facilitate valuable research experiences. All HOUR programs encourage applications from students from under-served backgrounds (e.g., first generation students, low-income backgrounds), those underrepresented in STEM fields, and those who have no prior research experience. Check out each HOUR program via the menu to the right.

Johns Hopkins offers many funding and research programs for our undergraduates to help facilitate research and presentation opportunities. Download the searchable spreadsheet to see a comprehensive list of opportunities for Hopkins students >. Again, remember it is your responsibility to verify dates and other requirements for each opportunity.

If you are looking specifically for funding assistance, we encourage you to also speak to your mentor as well as your department to inquire about funding assistance from them or departmental funds.

External Programs

HOUR has compiled an extensive list of external opportunities for both research funding and research opportunities. Download the searchable spreadsheet to see a comprehensive list of external opportunities >. Again, remember it is your responsibility to verify dates and other requirements for each opportunity.
