The Administration of Research at Johns Hopkins is a part of the culture of our institution. As such, it is accomplished in every department by a multitude of professionals. Formal Research Administration Offices in each school and in the Provost’s Office handle daily sponsored projects grants, contracts and other activities. In addition, an interdivisional research services team and a research information team both located in the Provost’s RPA Office, provide services on a University-wide level. For information specific to a school, division or institute, please access the appropriate research administration office via JHU Research Administration Offices.
