The Johns Hopkins University regained a five-year, $70 million federal grant designed to change how researchers pursue drug development and other medical treatments, but the University of Maryland, Baltimore lost its first bid for a similar grant, the National Institutes of Health said Tuesday.
The award pleased Hopkins officials, who had been forced to tweak their proposal for the grant after their application wasn’t renewed in 2012. The university received $80 million through the program, which focuses on what is known as “translational” research, from 2007 through 2011.
