The Lipitz Public Health Policy Awards for Bloomberg School Faculty
The Institute for Health and Social Policy in the Department of Health Policy and Management is pleased to announce arequest for applications for the Lipitz Public Health Policy Faculty Awards. The awards provide financial resources insupport of innovative, timely, and applied public health policy projects led by faculty at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
About the Award
To be eligible, projects must be focused on U.S. public health policy issues. Topics for the Lipitz Public Health Policy Faculty Award application should also align with one of the five focus areas of the Bloomberg American Health Initiative.
Priority will be given to projects that speak to the translation of research results into policy and of policy into legislation, but research activities in direct support of policy development or policy implementation will also be considered.
In either case, we require that faculty engage a key decision-maker or policy-maker as a partner and “principal knowledge user” in support of translational efforts; collaborative arrangements between researchers and decision makers or policy-makers are the distinctive feature of these awards.
Award Amount
Awards are $50,000 for 1-year projects.
Deadlines
There are three review periods throughout the year. Deadlines are:
Round 1: Nov 30, 2024
Round 2: March 30, 2025
Round 3: July 30, 2025
Applicants are allowed to submit their proposals in each of the three cycles (for resubmissions, there must be a statement regarding what was changed based on the prior review). We anticipate making 1-2 faculty awards per year.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Can you tell me if an application for the Lipitz Award should be processed through the Office of Research Administration? Or is it ok to skip that step since the award is through Hopkins?
The application for the Lipitz Award does not need to be processed through the Office of Research Administration. When you are ready to submit the application, you can email it to nmosele2@jhu.edu as a Microsoft Word document.
How many awards are expected to be provided in each application cycle?
There isn’t a specific number of awards to be provided. It will depend on how many applications we receive in each application cycle as well the budget for the academic year.
How many times am I allowed to apply in an academic year?
There are three deadlines during the academic year, which means you can apply in each cycle of the Awards or three times per academic year (deadlines July 30, November 30, and March 30). For resubmissions, applications must include a statement describing what in the current application has been modified based on the prior review.
I need more time to get the letter of support. What is the latest the review committee could wait to receive the letter?
All materials must be completed by the deadline. One of the main purposes of the Awards is to encourage active and lasting partnerships between researchers and decision-makers or policymakers. Experience shows that involving decision-makers at an earlier stage of project development will usually result in timely and better conceived letters. Assessing the quality of the partnership is therefore an integral part of the evaluation performed by the review panel and only complete submissions are considered.
Should I include references for the text?
Although references are not required, we encourage that you include them.
