Description
Established in 2015 through a gift from trustee Louis J. Forster, the President’s Frontier Award enables Johns Hopkins University to invest in extraordinary faculty and the ideas that drive discovery. The university recognizes one faculty member each year whose work is poised to make field-defining contributions.
The award is open to faculty in any Johns Hopkins division rather than being tied to a particular discipline or project type. It is intended as an investment in future potential, not a lifetime achievement award. The ideal candidate is a mid-career faculty member whose prominence as an intellectual leader would be significantly expanded by the award.
