JHU COVID-19 Research Accelerator Grants 

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected the academic community in many ways, including in research productivity. Early career faculty, particularly females and underrepresented minorities, have been disproportionately affected (1,2,3,4,5). To provide additional support to faculty who have been affected by the pandemic, the university has launched the JHU COVID-19 Research Accelerator Grant program to support humanists, and social and behavioral scientists as they reinvigorate research programs and complete significant projects put on hold during the pandemic.

This program is funded by the Office of the President and managed by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research.  All applicants will need to attain matching financial support from their division (center, institute, department, school) prior to submitting an application to this program.

Eligibility

Tenured, tenure-track or similar (e.g. School of Education full-time faculty) assistant and associateprofessors, BSPH scientists, and SOM instructors whose work is primarily in the humanities and related disciplines, or the social and behavioral sciences but whose work does not necessarily involve human subjects are eligible to apply.

Terms

Applicants can request bridge grants up to $30,000 over one year (up to $15,000 from the university and $15,000 from the matching partner). A single, non-recurring grant is anticipated. Funds are to be expended by June 2022 but extensions can be granted.

Accelerator funds can be used to cover the salary of the faculty member, personnel (including fringe), materials and supplies, and travel.

Before accelerator funding is awarded, applicants must have explored alternative sources of funding and, except under unusual circumstances, expended all unrestricted discretionary funds.
