If the proposal involves multiple investigators, one of the investigators must be identified as the principal investigator, with the rest being co-investigators. Principal investigators must have their primary home in KSAS. Co-investigators can be from any school at JHU.

| Two different grant opportunities are available from Ovarian SPORE Development Research Program (pilot projects, DRP) and Career Enhancement Program (CEP) to support new projects in ovarian cancer research. Priority will be given to translational research projects as well as to projects related to ovarian cancer prevention and early detection. DRP invites investigators to submit proposals that could potentially develop into future SPORE projects, and CEP invites investigators to enhance their careers in ovarian cancer research. Eligibility: JHU Faculty. Each investigator may submit only one application at one time (please specify DRP or CEP in submission.

| Johns Hopkins Education and Research Center for Occupational Safety and Health & Johns Hopkins POE Total Worker Health Center in Mental Health | Pilot Project Research Training Awards | $25,000 | October 11, 2024 | TBD |
| The program’s objective is to enhance occupational research training and research in workplace mental health and worker well-being through direct support of research activities. Funds from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health will support student, postdoctoral, and early investigator research projects with 3 to 5 awards of up to $15,000 each (one Total Worker Health-focused award for up to $25,000) for the budget period January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. Projects will be funded for up to 18 months; no cost extensions are allowed on a case-by-case basis. Preference may be given to smaller awards that are appropriate to the scope of the centers. Eligibility: Predoctoral candidates, postdoctoral fellows (including occupational medicine residents), or junior faculty not above the rank of assistant professor and without established research in the project topic area, who are (or have the possibility to be) involved in occupational health research or training at academic institution in U.S. Department of Health and Human Services region III (Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Virginia, and West Virginia) (for non-agricultural projects) and for the NEC ag region, of which JHU is a part, for projects related to ag, forestry, and fisheries. Exceptions to the region requirement will be made for investigators working in mental health or substance use for TWH projects where there is not another TWH center that would fund such work. Exceptions to the rank requirement will be made for faculty not traditionally working in occupational health, in order to stimulate investigators from other fields to apply their expertise to worker health issues, particularly if their work is relevant to the NORA objectives and if there is evidence that research training capacity will be enhanced through support of their pilot work.

| 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.
