CLF Announces RFP for Innovation Grants Program

For the tenth year, the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) will offer Innovation Grants for innovative, interdisciplinary study by Johns Hopkins University faculty, fellows and graduate students. The deadline for grant applications in August 11.

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 health for all while using resources sustainably and leaving a world fit for future generations.  

Innovation Grants are designed to foster collaboration across disciplines, including through development of original research, concept pieces and cross-cultural analyses; to promote work that has policy implications; to assist JHU faculty, fellows and graduate students in developing careers investigating interdisciplinary topics related to sustainability, i.e., topics contributing to the long-term protection of the environment in order to leave a planet that is livable for future generations; and to provide seed money for innovative projects that will generate data important in securing funding from other granting sources.                                            

CLF awards research grants annually in amounts up to $20,000 for one year of support. It is anticipated that these awards will strengthen the recipient’s ability to secure extramural funding. The full application is available on the CLF website.
