March 2021 Boost and Propel awards

Application deadline: 11:59 p.m., Monday, March 15

Boost and Propel are clinical research awards that offer Clinical Research Unit (CRU) services, including research space, overnight beds, phlebotomy, specialized research nursing, and CRU-based imaging (i.e., DXA, CV core) to investigators, based on scientific merit. Grants are for one year with possible renewal based on study progress and achieving pre-determined milestones.

Boost awards are for junior investigators, first-time R01 awardees, K awardees, and KL2 scholars to generate pilot data for a larger grant submission or to supplement research funds for the K project.

Propel awards are intended for established investigators who are performing early stage clinical trials, deep phenotyping studies, or studies that address Maryland health priorities and can augment resources of a funded project or provide resources for small pilot and feasibility studies.

All investigators must submit an application to a Johns Hopkins institutional review board (IRB) before beginning the award application.

The application deadline is Monday, March 15, 2021, by 11:59 p.m. Any Johns Hopkins University faculty member interested in funding for a new or ongoing clinical research project is eligible to apply.
