| 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.

| Office of the Vice Provost for Research | Catalyst Awards | $100,000 | February 14, 2025 | Late Spring |
| These grant awards support the promising research and creative endeavors of our early career faculty with the goal of launching them on a path to a sustainable and rewarding academic career. The program encompasses funding, mentoring opportunities, and the chance to join a cohort of peers at a similar stage in their career. The funds are allocated on a competitive basis in response to an annual university-wide request for applications. Eligibility: Applications from early-career faculty in any academic or professional discipline at the university are encouraged to apply. The term “early-career” is defined as any full-time tenure-track faculty member who was first appointed to a full-time, tenure track faculty position at any institution within no less than three (3) years and no more than ten (10) years as of July 1 of the deadline year. Eligible 2025 applicants were appointed to their first full-time, tenure track faculty position between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2022. If your appointment started between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, you will be eligible for the 2026 awards cycle. Non-tenure-track Research Associates and Research Scientists at the School of Medicine (SOM), Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH), the Whiting School of Engineering (WSE), and the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences (KSAS) are not eligible for the Catalyst Award but are encouraged to consider applying for the Discovery Award.

| Office of the Vice Provost for Research | Discovery Awards | $175,000 | February 14, 2025 | Late Spring |
| More than ever, the answers to the most challenging questions cannot be accomplished entirely within one academic discipline, or even one division. The Johns Hopkins Discovery Awards provide grant awards to cross divisional teams, comprised of faculty and/or non-faculty members from at least two schools or affiliates of the university, who are poised to arrive at important discoveries or creative works. The expectation is that these awards will spark new, synergistic interactions between investigators across the institution and lead to work of the highest quality and impact. These awards are not intended to support already established projects or minimal extensions of ongoing research or professional programs. Eligibility: Only one application per lead PI will be accepted. There is no limit to the number of proposals you can participate in as a co-PI. If you were the lead PI of a funded 2023 Discovery Award or 2024 Discovery Award, you are not eligible to apply as the lead PI of a 2025 award. Principal Investigators may submit new proposals as PI after a two-cycle waiting period following a funded grant. Applications from all academic and professional disciplines at the university are welcome, and may cover fundamental, applied, or clinical research in any field, as well as the development of applied creative projects in the arts and humanities. Applications must include at least two faculty members and/or APL staff members representing at least two separate schools/divisions or affiliates of the university. Applications are open to tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenure JHU faculty, including clinical, research, practice, and teaching faculty. Adjunct faculty, emeriti professors, and lecturers may apply as co-PIs. Visiting professors are ineligible. Students and postdoctoral fellows cannot serve as co-PI, however, they can be included in the budget.

| 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.
