Core Coins Program (SOM Only)
The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Core Coins Program is a funding mechanism designed to encourage investigators to access core services and facilities. Our goal is to accelerate research by providing rapid, targeted funding to address small but critical gaps in basic, clinical and translational research work currently not funded by other sources. Core Coins will be awarded on a competitive basis to individual PIs and subsequently administered through the iLab program through a distinct account provided to you within an iLab core.Core Coin Applicant Eligibility
Faculty that have an appointment through School of Medicine are eligible for Core Coins. School of Medicine Core facilities receiving Core Coins funding must have adopted iLab Solutions or have signed up for implementation. For additional information about iLab Solutions, please contact either Shawn Franckowiak Barbara Daily or Jeff Smith from the Office for Faculty Research Resources.Apply for Core Coins Now
