Description
The Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute awards Baltimore Health Equity Impact Grants to partnerships between a Johns Hopkins faculty member or student and a Baltimore-based community organization. The grants support jointly developed research or program development with the potential to advance the health and well-being of Baltimore City residents. Both partners must help develop the proposed plan, and proposals must explain how the community organization will remain involved throughout the project.
The institute prioritizes work addressing health equity and social determinants of health, including employment, education, housing and food access. Other priority areas include cross-sector partnerships, community-organization capacity-building, leadership development, trauma-informed care, social disparities, race and racism. Reviewers also consider community-engagement practices, dissemination, broader implications for urban health and potential to attract future funding or partnerships.
