Seed grant programs are an efficient mechanism for universities to invest in high-risk ideas, incite collaborative research, support early career faculty, and direct faculty towards a specific goal. At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Johns Hopkins leadership quickly mobilized to support research teams as they pivoted to gather preliminary data and seek solutions to save lives. Here we discuss key lessons learned from the program.
