Johns Hopkins University has launched a new five-year initiative designed to support collaborative projects and programming that address the interests and needs of communities in Baltimore; Washington, D.C.; and beyond.
The Innovation Fund for Community-Academic Partnerships builds on Johns Hopkins' longstanding commitment to bolster nearby neighborhoods through financial investment, technical assistance, and legislative advocacy in tandem with support for local education, job training and creation, health and well-being, and public safety efforts by embracing the ideas and expertise of community stakeholders. Successful proposals will support "the bidirectional exchange of community-based and university-based knowledge, values, and expertise, with the goal of addressing specific community needs through collaborative efforts."
