These projects may be undertaken at any time within the fellowship year (July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026).

Visiting Fellows also participate - in person to the extent possible - in regular workshops, seminars, and other programs at the institute, in the larger Johns Hopkins community, and beyond. For this 2025-26 cycle, in addition to our general call for proposals, we invite proposals in two focus areas: (1) AI for the public good and (2) modernizing civics education at the university level . Learn more about these focus areas below. We also invite proposals for projects on other topics; for these we strongly recommend identifying a connection to ongoing areas of scholarship at the institute. Learn more about our scholarly projects here. Focus Area 1: AI for the public good As AI rapidly develops, cities need to make sure that its promise to drive better governance and inclusive economic growth is realized. The institute seeks fellows aiming to harness AI's transformative technology to strengthen urban communities, government, and the economy, including in the City of Baltimore. Potential fellows may be start-up founders, business leaders, labor organizers, technologists, or others interested in using AI for the public good in an urban context. Focus Area 2: Modernizing civics education at the university level The economic, technological, political, and socio-demographic shifts of the 21st century necessitate a citizenry with new skills and capabilities, and a commitment to the public good. Civics education is where these skills and orientations are developed. The institute seeks fellows aiming to support our discovery, design, and implementation of strategic efforts to enhance the civic education of Johns Hopkins students and university students in general. Potential fellows may be civic educators, civic practitioners from the public and non-profit sectors, artists, and researchers.
