The mission of the BEAD Core is to provide research support services that promote, strengthen and expand the research of Johns Hopkins University faculty so that we remain one of the top interdisciplinary research institutions focused on improving the health and well-being of individuals, families and the communities they live in. Our Core values are respect, integrity, service, and equity through a team science approach celebrating multiple disciplines and training. With these values in mind, we’ve created a service-based model that is responsive, efficient, and focused on a mentored support structure.
