The Catalyst Awards honor is accompanied by a $75,000 grant for their research and creative endeavors. The cohort will also participate in mentoring sessions and opportunities organized to connect these colleagues at a similar stage in their careers.
The 2016 awardees represent some of the most innovative thinkers from across the university. Nearly two-thirds are assistant professors, they come from six of JHU’s nine academic divisions, and they represent a variety of scholarly interests.
“We are excited to provide these scholars and scientists essential financial support at a crucial moment in their promising careers,” Johns Hopkins University President Ronald J. Daniels said. “Funding can be a significant challenge for faculty in the early years. The Catalyst Awards are a show of support for their intellect and creativity and an investment in the ideas and discoveries they will bring to light.”

- Honggang Cui, Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering
- Amy Foster, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
- Mark Foster, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
