The Johns Hopkins Data Science and AI Institute is pleased to announce the continuation of programmatic support in the area of AI-informed discovery and inquiry for FY 2026. This program will provide funding for data science- or AI-driven proposals led by Krieger School of Arts and Sciences faculty.
All tenure-track and research faculty in the Krieger School can serve as principal investigators or co-investigators and are eligible to apply. If the proposal involves multiple investigators, one of the investigators must be identified as the principal investigator, with the rest being co-investigators.
Principal investigators must have their primary home in the Krieger School. Co-investigators can be from any school at JHU. MS/PhD students, undergraduates, and teaching faculty are ineligible to apply for this funding, and proposals from such individuals will be considered non-responsive.
Principal investigators can submit no more than one proposal as lead PI. Seed grant awardees from the last funding cycle are not eligible for funding in this cycle. Proposal submission deadline is Oct. 6.
