Research projects within this program should best represent initial research that leverages the unique capabilities of Johns Hopkins and Kaiser Permanente as learning health systems.
Projects are generally pilot projects that may expand into more complex research inquiries and proposals in the future. Funded projects will be managed by two co-Principal Investigators (PIs); one from Johns Hopkins and one from Kaiser Permanente. If an investigator has an idea for a project but does not know a potential research collaborator/colleague, the leaders at both institutions will endeavor to make introductions on their behalf.
Program Funding and Period of Support
This program is for 2-year projects that are non-renewable. Funding is available for up to four projects. Awarded KP Co-PIs will be guaranteed $37,500 for both years 1 and 2 of the project. JHU Co-PIs will be guaranteed $37,500 in year 1 with support in year 2, pending funding availability. No indirect costs or carry-over of funds from Year 1 to Year 2 are allowed. Funding will not start any sooner than May 1, 2026, pending Institutional Review Board approval.
