Grant Opportunities

Request for Applications - Pilot Proposal Guidelines 2024-2025

The application period is CLOSED. For more details, see the guidelines here: 

The Hopkins Economics of Alzheimer’s Disease & Services (HEADS) Center stimulates and coalesces population-based research that identifies, quantifies, and addresses economic and care systems challenges posed by Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD).   

We invite applications for pilot grants related to our two themes: 

1. To identify and quantify the range of care needs of persons with ADRD and the economic consequences of ADRD for patients and families. 

2. To examine how the organization, financing, and delivery of services affects accessibility, affordability, quality, and equity of ADRD care. 

Racial disparities and caregiving are cross-cutting areas of interest within each theme. 

The HEADS Center expects to competitively award pilot grants of $25,000 per award, with the flexibility of additional funding available based on the innovation and breadth of pilot scope in the coming 2024-2025 cycle. We are particularly interested in supporting promising post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty, but applicants may be of any rank from Johns Hopkins University and external institutions. We encourage applicants from under-represented racial and ethnic groups, as well as individuals with disabilities. 

Recipients of these awards may also be able to access their data through the HEADS Remote Data Enclave.
