Provost to Host Info Session on Strategic Planning RFPs May 27

Provost Kristina M. Johnson will host an information session on the Framework for the Future strategic planning requests for proposals from noon to 1:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 27, in 213 Hodson Hall. Attendees are invited to bring a brown bag lunch.

The Framework for the Future strategic planning process is seeking proposals for initiatives in research, scholarship, creativity, teaching and practice that cut across disciplines and divisions of the university. The aim is to identify areas of, and build on, existing excellence and strength that have the capacity to make major breakthroughs at the boundaries and frontiers of disciplinary knowledge.

Proposals will be prioritized on the basis of their innovation to deepen the university's selective excellence and further differentiate Johns Hopkins from its peers. The Provost's Office will provide start-up funding in the form of planning/seed grants of up to $200,000 per year for three years to ignite new areas and strengthen existing ones where cross-disciplinary interactions make a major difference.
