WHAT WE DO
The Office of Federal Strategy creates strategic connections between policymakers and JHU/JHM experts at pivotal moments in the federal policymaking process to fulfill Johns Hopkins’ mission to bring new knowledge to the world. Our data-driven advocacy transforms public policies that further scientific exploration, interdisciplinary scholarship, higher education, and world-class patient care. Representing the nation’s oldest research university, which receives more federal research dollars than any other institution of higher education, our office advances legislative and regulatory policies that improve the nation’s innovation ecosystem.
