| Funding Sponsor | Program Title | Max Amount of Award | Due Date | Notification Date |
| Gupta-Klinsky India Institute at Johns Hopkins University and Ashoka University | Breakthrough Research Grants Program – Summer 2023: Climate & Health | $45,000 | LOI: September 8, 2023 Full Application: September 29, 2023 |
November 2023 |
| The Breakthrough Research Grants Program supports JHU faculty pilot projects involving interdisciplinary collaborations with India-based research institutes. This research grant will help enable an understanding of the intricacies of the Climate & Health nexus through interdisciplinary and intersectional research collaborations. It demands collaboration between climate scientists, public health professionals, social scientists, policymakers, and community stakeholders. By investigating the complex connections between climate change and health, researchers can generate knowledge that informs evidence-based interventions, policy frameworks, and adaptive strategies to mitigate and respond to the health challenges posed by climate change. This call for proposals seeks to promote research that addresses critical gaps in understanding and advances knowledge at the intersection of climate and health. We encourage innovation and collaborative projects that examine various dimensions of the relationship. Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate clear pathways for translating research findings into tangible actions that promote climate resilience, health equity, and sustainable development. Eligibility: Applicants must be a full-time faculty at a Johns Hopkins-affiliated School (Research Associate, Assistant Scientist or Associate scientist or Instructor or Assistant Professor or Associate Professor level) who are currently collaborating or planning to collaborate with a research team from any India based research institute/group including education institutes, government, and non-government organizations that are affiliated and recognized by the Government of India. Co-principal investigators must include India-based researchers. Multidisciplinary collaborations will be prioritized. Collaborations that can bring partially or fully matched awards from an India-based funding agency will be prioritized.

| Johns Hopkins University Office of Faculty Affairs | Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program | One year salary at current NIH level of support for postdoctoral fellows, fringe benefits, $5,000 research funds, $2,000 professional development | October 13, 2023 | December 15, 2023 |
| The Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship program is part of the Faculty Diversity Initiative 2.0, which is one of many programs outlined in Realizing Our Promise: The Second JHU Roadmap on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The Office of the Provost has stated that the fellowships “seek to locate, promote, and nurture the work of outstanding early career postdoctoral scholars at Johns Hopkins University.” The program will prepare participants for faculty positions at Johns Hopkins (or elsewhere), particularly in fields where there are fewer women or members of underrepresented minorities. A successful nominee will be someone with diverse life experiences and background who has potential for both a successful fellowship and a possible future tenure-track faculty appointment at Johns Hopkins. Eligibility: Graduate students from Johns Hopkins or other institutions, who have completed a doctoral degree or will have completed their doctoral degree requirements by the fellowship start date. Current postdoctoral scholars who received their degrees within the last three years. Professional applicants (who have an MD, JD, etc.), who are within three years of completing their professional or clinical training. Applicants are welcome from any area of study. Priority will be given to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Consistent with the NIH’s Interest in Diversity (NOT-OD-20-031: Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity), we encourage those with a diverse background and life experiences, such as racial/ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, individuals from rural or socially disadvantaged backgrounds, and those of LGBTQIA identity to apply. Only US citizens and permanent residents can apply.

| The Johns Hopkins Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC) solicits proposals to support of scientific projects and junior investigators in research on frailty in aging. The OAIC is a Johns Hopkins-wide Center, funded by the National Institute on Aging’s Center on Aging and Health, to support the development of research on the etiology of frailty as a basis for developing treatments or approaches to prevention of frailty in older adults. Scientists with an interest in developing pilot projects in this area or with needs for support of biostatistical or genetic analyses of data related to frailty, as well as junior faculty seeking protected time to develop investigative careers in this field, are encouraged to apply for internal funding through the OAIC mechanisms. Small pilot proposals must have a hypothesis that is frailty-focused. Eligibility: Anyone may 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.
