Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future Announces RFP for Innovation Grants
For the 11th year, the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) will be offering Innovation Grants for innovative, interdisciplinary study by Johns Hopkins University faculty, fellows, and graduate students. The deadline for grant applications is Friday, July 24. The Innovation Grants are intended to promote research that addresses some of the complex interactions among diet, human health, food production, food security, equity, and the environment. The overall purpose of the Innovation Grants is to encourage new, visionary work that focuses on how to achieve a livable future–– improving food systems and health for all while using natural resources sustainably and leaving a world fit for future generations. These grants are designed to foster research collaboration across disciplines and to support the development of original, innovative and policy-relevant research, policy analysis, and program evaluation. The grants are intended to assist JHU faculty, fellows and graduate students in developing careers investigating interdisciplinary topics relevant to linkages among diet, food production, environment and public health, and to provide seed money for innovative projects that will generate data important in securing funding from other granting sources. CLF Innovation Grants will be awarded for research projects lasting up to 18 months. Most grants will be awarded in amounts up to $20,000. A few grants may be funded at up to $40,000, particularly for applications that address CLF’s “high-priority” topics. The full application is available on CLF Website.
