Summary
The Provost’s Fellows for Public Engagement program aims to empower outstanding faculty members to communicate their leading-edge research and evidence-based insights in effective and compelling ways to national and global audiences.

Program Background
In fall 2024, Johns Hopkins University launched the Provost’s Fellows for Public Engagement, a program to further strengthen our institution’s capacity to bring the benefits of discovery to the world. Responding to the Ten for One goal to develop new pathways to translate cutting-edge research into meaningful policy ideas and become a preeminent source of academic expertise in service to society, the Provost’s Fellows for Public Engagement is an investment in our faculty’s capacity to communicate knowledge, foster meaningful dialogue, and increase the reach and societal impact of our frontline researchers. The Provost’s Fellows for Public Engagement affirms the value of public scholarship as a vital academic pursuit, extending the benefits and impact of our research to shape our world for the better.
