Empowering Innovation
Translational funding at Johns Hopkins enables researchers to advance early-stage innovations and discoveries toward commercialization. Offered twice per year, these non-dilutive funds help de-risk technologies and enhance their commercial value by supporting proof-of-concept, prototype development, and commercialization readiness efforts.
This funding is designed to serve as a continuous source of support that can complement and interweave with other funding sources within the broader ecosystem, enabling steady progress and long-term growth as your technology matures.
