Johns Hopkins University recently announced recipients of the JHU Discovery Awards. The 2018 Awards were awarded to 30 faculty teams across eight Johns Hopkins divisions. Discovery Awards provide grants to cross-divisional teams, whose work is poised to make new discoveries or creative works. Recipients were chosen from nearly 200 proposals.
Over one hundred Johns Hopkins faculty members comprise the winning teams, including IDIES Director Alex Szalay. Members of IDIES were well represented, with eleven IDIES affiliates on six Discovery Teams.
