Program Overview

The Johns Hopkins and Kaiser Permanente Research Collaboration Committee seeks to fund research projects highlighting the effective synergy of the Johns Hopkins Medicine and Kaiser Permanente collaboration in tackling the complex and intriguing questions vexing both health systems.

Research projects should best represent initial research that leverages the unique capabilities of each learning health system and funded projects will be managed by two co-Principal Investigators (PIs); one from Kaiser Permanente and one from Johns Hopkins.

This program is for 2-year projects that are non-renewable. Funding is available for up to four projects. Awarded Kaiser Permanente Co-PIs will be guaranteed $37,500 for both years 1 and 2 of the project. Johns Hopkins 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.
