Dr Harold Lehmann, MD, PhD, professor of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science and an Adler Archer Laboratory member, is part of an interdisciplinary team awarded a 2025 Johns Hopkins Discovery Award for a project using artificial intelligence to transform hypertension care and enable clinicians to drive precision population health improvements.

In 2025, Johns Hopkins awarded 38 Discovery Awards to cross-divisional faculty teams, selected from 274 proposals. The winning projects include 142 individuals representing 12 Johns Hopkins entities. Discovery Awards provide seed funding of up to $150,000 to spark new collaborative research with potential for large-scale external funding.

Lehmann’s team project, “Transforming Hypertension Care Through Artificial Intelligence: A Multi-Divisional Initiative Enabling Clinicians to Drive Precision Population Health Improvements,” brings together expertise from nursing, medicine, engineering, and business to advance AI-enabled approaches to one of the most prevalent chronic conditions in the United States.

Project collaborators include Yvonne Commodore-Mensah (Nursing), Alhassan Yasin (Engineering), Oluwabunmi Ogungbe (Nursing), Lisa Cooper (Medicine), Serwaa Karikari (Business), and Judy Greengold (Medicine).

The Discovery Awards program, launched in 2015 alongside the Catalyst Awards, reflects Johns Hopkins’ commitment to faculty-led, interdisciplinary research. Vice Provost for Research Denis Wirtz noted that the 2025 awardees represent “the very best of our faculty’s creativity and ambition, with proposals that push boundaries and bring together expertise from across the university.”
