Grants360 Invitation: Program Project Grants 1/25

Dear Colleagues,

 As Vice Dean of Research, much of our effort at the school level is to try to promote collaboration and leverage the substantive expertise across our diverse research community. My team and I recently kicked off our research@BSPH Ecosystem initiative with a virtual event that introduced the campaign and announced a number of tools for research teams. As part of this effort, we’ve initiated Grants360 – a series of sessions, panels and workshops to enhance our research community’s pursuit of grant funding. We have launched a series of sessions devoted to exploring funding mechanisms for which there is notably less awareness than traditional R01 and other types of grants. Our premise is that by hearing how individuals have successfully developed a proposal for a specific funding mechanism, others can learn and leverage this experience to the benefit of the broader community.

 We are hosting a panel of Program Project Grant (PPG) awardees and are inviting you to participate in the discussion. PPGs are a specific funding mechanism that generally supports a multidisciplinary team on a research program which has a specific objective or theme. A PPG is typically directed toward a range of problems while having a central research focus, contrary to the usually narrow lens of a traditional research project. There will typically be multiple projects and several cores to support the collaborative work. If this grant fits your career stage and interests, please join us and learn from those who've already been successful in obtaining this funding! Our panel of program awardees will share their experiences in navigating the program proposal process, the unique aspects of PPGs and how this award impacted their research and career.

This session will be held on Wednesday, January 25 from 10-11am on Zoom. You can join through this link. For questions, please reach out to us at BSPH.research@jhu.edu. Visit our grants 360 wiki page to learn more .

Best,
