Johns Hopkins University received a $2.0 million Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to procure and install a state-of-the-art Philips MR7700 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The award, effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027, will replace an end-of-life Philips Research 3T MRI scanner at Johns Hopkins' MRI Service Center in Baltimore, Maryland. The existing system, which has supported numerous NIH-funded research projects over the past 20 years, is reaching obsolescence, with vendor support and replacement parts discontinued as of December 31, 2025. The new MRI system will serve as a shared research resource for NIH-funded investigators across multiple disciplines and institutes and centers at Johns Hopkins and collaborating institutions. The replacement MRI scanner will support translational research and clinical investigation across 12 major user groups and 5 additional users representing different organs and clinical conditions spanning 8 different NIH institutes and centers. Johns Hopkins' large and technically sophisticated MRI technical group (>150 personnel) and established research infrastructure ensure effective deployment and long-term maintenance of the equipment. The new system was selected following careful comparative assessment of competing vendor platforms and compatibility analysis with existing research protocols, positioning Johns Hopkins to continue advancing biomedical research understanding and therapeutic development across a wide range of disease states and clinical disciplines.
