Johns Hopkins University

Two leading research universities are joining forces! Johns Hopkins University and West Virginia University have launched the JHU-WVU Research Collaborative, a three-year, $7 million partnership aimed at addressing complex challenges in health, science, and society.

The program will provide seed grants of up to $150,000 to joint faculty teams from both institutions, with priority areas in neuroscience research, such as substance use, mental health, and dementia. The goal is to foster collaboration across a broad range of disciplines while encouraging projects that build on areas of shared strength. https://bit.ly/4oRoOdB
