On his death in 1873, Johns Hopkins, a Quaker entrepreneur and childless bachelor, bequeathed $7 million (equivalent to ${{formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|7000000|1873}}}} in {{inflation/year|US-GDP}}){{inflation/fn|US-GDP}} to fund a hospital and university in Baltimore.{{cite web|url = http://web.jhu.edu/administration/communications/documents/johnshopkinsfactbook.pdf|title = The Homewood Campus: Its Buildings, Monuments and Sculpture|date = 2010|access-date = March 2, 2015|url-status=live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150226004827/http://web.jhu.edu/administration/communications/documents/johnshopkinsfactbook.pdf|archive-date = February 26, 2015}}

At the time, this donation, generated primarily from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, was the largest philanthropic gift in the history of the United States, and endowment was then the largest in America. Until 2020, Hopkins was assumed to be a fervent abolitionist, until research done by the school into his United States Census records revealed he claimed to own at least five household slaves in the 1840 and 1850 decennial censuses.{{cite web|date=December 9, 2020|title=Reexamining the history of our founder|url=https://president.jhu.edu/meet-president-daniels/speeches-articles-and-media/reexamining-the-history-of-our-founder/|access-date=2020-12-14|website=Office of the President - JHU|archive-date=March 24, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210324133832/https://president.jhu.edu/meet-president-daniels/speeches-articles-and-media/reexamining-the-history-of-our-founder/|url-status=live}}{{cite news |last1=Schuessler |first1=Jennifer |title=Johns Hopkins Reveals That Its Founder Owned Slaves |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/09/arts/johns-hopkins-slavery-abolitionist.html |access-date=14 December 2020 |work=The New York Times |date=9 December 2020 |archive-date=December 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201214150948/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/09/arts/johns-hopkins-slavery-abolitionist.html |url-status=live}}

The first name of philanthropist Johns Hopkins comes from the surname of his great-grandmother, Margaret Johns, who married Gerard Hopkins. They named their son Johns Hopkins, who named his own son Samuel Hopkins. Samuel named one of his sons for his father, and that son became the university's benefactor. Milton Eisenhower, a former university president, once spoke at a convention in Pittsburgh where the master of ceremonies introduced him as "President of John Hopkins". Eisenhower retorted that he was "glad to be here in Pittburgh".

The original board opted for an entirely novel university model dedicated to the discovery of knowledge at an advanced level, extending that of contemporary Germany. Building on the Humboldtian model of higher education, the German education model of Wilhelm von Humboldt, it became dedicated to research. It was especially Heidelberg University and its long academic research history on which the new institution tried to model itself.{{cite book|title=A Spirit of Reason – Festschrift for Steven Muller|last=Janes|first=Jackson|year=2004|publisher=American Institute for Contemporary German Studies|location=Washington, D.C.|isbn=978-0-941441-88-9|oclc=179735617|page=15|url=http://www.aicgs.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/muller.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131213183552/http://www.aicgs.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/muller.pdf|archive-date=December 13, 2013}}{{failed verification|date=March 2020}} Johns Hopkins thereby became the model of the modern research university in the United States. Its success eventually shifted higher education in the United States from a focus on teaching revealed and/or applied knowledge to the scientific discovery of new knowledge.{{cite web|url = http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Johns_Hopkins_University.aspx|title = Johns Hopkins University|date = 2003|access-date = March 2, 2015|website = Encyclopedia.com|last = Sander|first = Kathleen Waters|url-status=live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402172320/http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Johns_Hopkins_University.aspx|archive-date = April 2, 2015}} {{EB1911 poster|Johns Hopkins University|the Early History}}

The trustees worked alongside four notable university presidents, Charles William Eliot of Harvard University, Andrew D. White of Cornell University, Noah Porter of Yale College, and James B. Angell of University of Michigan. They each supported Daniel Coit Gilman to lead the new university and he became the university's first president.{{Cite book|title = Pioneer: A History of the Johns Hopkins University, 1874–1889|last = Hawkins|first = Hugh|publisher = Cornell University Press|year = 1960 |oclc = 876490592|location = Ithaca, NY|page = 15|isbn = 978-0-8108-5818-3}} Gilman, a Yale-educated scholar, had been serving as president of the University of California, Berkeley prior to this appointment. In preparation for the university's founding, Daniel Coit Gilman visited University of Freiburg and other German universities.

Gilman launched what many at the time considered an audacious and unprecedented academic experiment to merge teaching and research. He dismissed the idea that the two were mutually exclusive: "The best teachers are usually those who are free, competent and willing to make original researches in the library and the laboratory," he stated.{{cite web|url = http://krieger.jhu.edu/about/mission/|title = School History and Mission|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = Johns Hopkins Krieger School of Arts and Sciences|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150424024857/http://krieger.jhu.edu/about/mission/|archive-date = April 24, 2015}} To implement his plan, Gilman recruited internationally known researchers including the mathematician James Joseph Sylvester; the biologist H. Newell Martin; the physicist Henry Augustus Rowland, the first president of the American Physical Society, the classical scholars Basil Gildersleeve, and Charles D. Morris; the economist Richard T. Ely; and the chemist Ira Remsen, who became the second president of the university in 1901.{{cite web|url = http://pages.jh.edu/gazette/2000/sep1100/11remsen.html|title = Ira Remsen: The Chemistry Was Right|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = The Johns Hopkins Gazette Online|last = Stimpert|first = James|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150317084254/http://pages.jh.edu/gazette/2000/sep1100/11remsen.html|archive-date = March 17, 2015}}

Gilman focused on the expansion of graduate education and support of faculty research. The new university fused advanced scholarship with such professional schools as medicine and engineering. Hopkins became the national trendsetter in doctoral programs and the host for numerous scholarly journals and associations.{{cite web|url = http://www.socialwelfarehistory.com/people/gilman-daniel-coit/|title = Gilman, Daniel Coit|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = The Social Welfare History Project| date=January 20, 2011 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402095457/http://www.socialwelfarehistory.com/people/gilman-daniel-coit/|archive-date = April 2, 2015}} The Johns Hopkins University Press, founded in 1878, is the oldest American university press in continuous operation.{{cite web|url = http://www.aaupnet.org/about-aaup/about-university-presses/history-of-university-presses|title = History of University Presses|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = AAUP|last = Givler|first = Peter|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150313212628/http://www.aaupnet.org/about-aaup/about-university-presses/history-of-university-presses|archive-date = March 13, 2015}}

With the completion of Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1889 and the medical school in 1893, the university's research-focused mode of instruction soon began attracting world-renowned faculty members who would become major figures in the emerging field of academic medicine, including William Osler, William Halsted, Howard Kelly, and William Welch.{{cite news|url = http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/about/history/history5.html|title = The Four Founding Physicians|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = Hopkins Medicine|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150310220741/http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/about/history/history5.html|archive-date = March 10, 2015 |last1=Molnar |first1=Heather}} During this period the university further made history by becoming the first medical school to admit women on an equal basis with men and to require a Bachelor's degree, based on the efforts of Mary E. Garrett, who had endowed the school at Gilman's request.{{cite web|url = http://www.medicalarchives.jhmi.edu/garrett/biography.htm#suffrage|title = A Biological Sketch of Mary Elizabeth Garrett|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = JHMI Medical Archives|publisher = The Alan Masan Chesney Archives of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institution|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150221123915/http://www.medicalarchives.jhmi.edu/garrett/biography.htm#suffrage|archive-date = February 21, 2015}} The school of medicine was America's first coeducational, graduate-level medical school, and became a prototype for academic medicine that emphasized bedside learning, research projects, and laboratory training.

In his will and in his instructions to the trustees of the university and the hospital, Hopkins requested that both institutions be built upon the vast grounds of his Baltimore estate, Clifton. When Gilman assumed the presidency, he decided that it would be best to use the university's endowment for recruiting faculty and students, deciding to, as it has been paraphrased, "build men, not buildings."{{Cite book|title = Founded by Friends: The Quaker Heritage of Fifteen American Colleges and Universities|last = Oliver| first = John W. Jr. |publisher = Scarecrow Press|year = 2007|location = Plymouth|page = 135}} In his will Hopkins stipulated that none of his endowment should be used for construction; only interest on the principal could be used for this purpose. Unfortunately, stocks in The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which would have generated most of the interest, became virtually worthless soon after Hopkins's death. The university's first home was thus in Downtown Baltimore, delaying plans to site the university in Clifton.

In the early 20th century, the university outgrew its buildings and the trustees began to search for a new home. Developing Clifton for the university was too costly, and {{convert|30|acres|0|abbr=on}} of the estate had to be sold to the city as public park. A solution was achieved by a team of prominent locals who acquired the estate in north Baltimore known as the Homewood Estate. On February 22, 1902, this land was formally transferred to the university. The flagship building, Gilman Hall, was completed in 1915. The School of Engineering relocated in Fall of 1914 and the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences followed in 1916. These decades saw the ceding of lands by the university for the public Wyman Park and Wyman Park Dell and the Baltimore Museum of Art, coalescing in the contemporary area of {{convert|140|acre}}.

Prior to becoming the main Johns Hopkins campus, the Homewood estate had initially been the gift of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Maryland, a planter and signer of the Declaration of Independence, to his son Charles Carroll Jr. The original structure, the 1801 Homewood House, still stands and serves as an on-campus museum.{{cite web|url = http://www.museums.jhu.edu/homewood.php|title = Homewood House|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = JHU Museums|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150224222549/http://www.museums.jhu.edu/homewood.php|archive-date = February 24, 2015}} The brick and marble Federal style of Homewood House became the architectural inspiration for much of the university campus versus the Collegiate Gothic style of other historic American universities.

In 1909, the university was among the first to start adult continuing education programs and in 1916 it founded the nation's first school of public health.{{cite web|url = http://hub.jhu.edu/gazette/2012/september/leading-the-way-in-public-health|title = Leading the way in public health|date = September 2012|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = JHU Gazette|last = Edelson|first = Matt|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402115321/http://hub.jhu.edu/gazette/2012/september/leading-the-way-in-public-health|archive-date = April 2, 2015}}

Since the 1910s, Johns Hopkins University has famously been a "fertile cradle" to Arthur Lovejoy's history of ideas.

Since 1942, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) has served as a major governmental defense contractor. In tandem with on-campus research, Johns Hopkins has every year since 1979 had the highest federal research funding of any American university.{{cite web|url = http://hub.jhu.edu/2014/01/02/research-spending-rankings-nsf|title = Johns Hopkins leads nation in research spending for the 34th consecutive year|date = January 2, 2014|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = JHU Hub|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402095002/http://hub.jhu.edu/2014/01/02/research-spending-rankings-nsf|archive-date = April 2, 2015}}

The early decades of the 21st century saw expansion across the university's institutions in both physical and population sizes. Notably, a planned 88-acre expansion to the medical campus began in 2013. Completed construction on the Homewood campus has included a new biomedical engineering building in the Johns Hopkins University Department of Biomedical Engineering, a new library, a new biology wing, an extensive renovation of the flagship Gilman Hall, and the reconstruction of the main university entrance.

These years also brought about the rapid development of the university's professional schools of education and business. From 1999 until 2007, these disciplines had been joined within the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education (SPSBE), itself a reshuffling of several earlier ventures. The 2007 split, combined with new funding and leadership initiatives, has led to the simultaneous emergence of the Johns Hopkins School of Education and the Carey Business School.File:Legg mason tower.jpg, home of the new Carey Business School]]On November 18, 2018, it was announced that Michael Bloomberg would make a donation to his alma mater of $1.8 billion, marking the largest private donation in modern history to an institution of higher education and bringing Bloomberg's total contribution to the school in excess of $3.3 billion.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/nyregion/at-1-1-billion-bloomberg-is-top-university-donor-in-us.html|title=$1.1 Billion in Thanks From Bloomberg to Johns Hopkins|date=January 27, 2013|work=The New York Times|access-date=February 27, 2017|archive-date=June 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170611114620/http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/nyregion/at-1-1-billion-bloomberg-is-top-university-donor-in-us.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Michael R.

Hopkins was a prominent abolitionist who supported Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. After his death, reports said his conviction was a decisive factor in enrolling Hopkins's first African-American student, Kelly Miller, a graduate student in physics, astronomy and mathematics.[https://archive.today/20120907140948/http://www.mdhistoryonline.net/mdmedicine/cfm/dsp_detail.cfm?id=1895 MDhistoryonline.net], Medicine in Maryland 1752–1920 As time passed, the university adopted a "separate but equal" stance more like other Baltimore institutions.

Hopkins's most well-known battle for women's rights was the one led by daughters of trustees of the university; Mary E. Garrett, M. Carey Thomas, Mamie Gwinn, Elizabeth King, and Julia Rogers. They donated and raised the funds needed to open the medical school, and required Hopkins's officials to agree to their stipulation that women would be admitted. The nursing school opened in 1889 and accepted women and men as students.{{cite web|url = http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information_about_hopkins/about_jhu/chronology/|title = The Johns Hopkins University- Chronology|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = webapps.jhu.edu|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150228234400/http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information%5Fabout%5Fhopkins/about%5Fjhu/chronology/|archive-date = February 28, 2015}} Other graduate schools were later opened to women by president Ira Remsen in 1907.

In 1893, Florence Bascomb became the university's first female PhD. The decision to admit women at undergraduate level was not considered until the late 1960s and was eventually adopted in October 1969.

On September 5, 2013, cryptographer and Johns Hopkins university professor Matthew Green posted a blog entitled, "On the NSA", in which he contributed to the ongoing debate regarding the role of NIST and NSA in formulating U.S. cryptography standards. On September 9, 2013, Green received a take-down request for the "On the NSA" blog from interim Dean Andrew Douglas from the Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering. The request cited concerns that the blog had links to sensitive material. The blog linked to already published news articles from The Guardian, The New York Times, and ProPublica.org. Douglas subsequently issued a personal on-line apology to Green. The event raised concern over the future of academic freedom of speech within the cryptologic research community.

• School of Education: Originally established in 1909 as The School of Professional Studies in Business and Education, the divisions of Education and Business became separate schools in 2007.
• Whiting School of Engineering: The Whiting School contains 14 undergraduate and graduate engineering programs and 12 additional areas of study.
• Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences: The Krieger School offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and minors and more than 40 graduate programs.

The first campus was located on Howard Street. Eventually, they relocated to Homewood, in northern Baltimore, the estate of Charles Carroll, son of the oldest surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. Carroll's Homewood House is considered one of the finest examples of Federal residential architecture. The estate then came to the Wyman family, which participated in making it the park-like main campus of the schools of arts and sciences and engineering at the start of the 20th century. Most of its architecture was modeled after the Federal style of Homewood House. Homewood House is preserved as a museum. Most undergraduate programs are on this campus.{{cite web|title=Homewood Museum|url=https://museums.jhu.edu/homewood-museum/|access-date=2022-01-24|website=Johns Hopkins University Museums|language=en|archive-date=January 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220121145422/https://museums.jhu.edu/homewood-museum/|url-status=live}}

The Johns Hopkins entity is structured as two corporations, the university and The Johns Hopkins Health System, formed in 1986. The president is JHU's chief executive officer and the university is organized into nine academic divisions.

JHU's bylaws specify a board of trustees of between 18 and 65 voting members. Trustees serve six-year terms subject to a two-term limit. The alumni select 12 trustees. Four recent alumni serve 4-year terms, one per year, typically from the graduating class. The bylaws prohibit students, faculty or administrative staff from serving on the board, except the president as an ex-officio trustee. The Johns Hopkins Health System has a separate board of trustees, many of whom are doctors or health care executives.

The full-time, four-year undergraduate program is "most selective" with low transfer-in and a high graduate co-existence. The Princeton Review rates the selectivity of Johns Hopkins as 99/99. As of 2025, the cost of attendance per academic year without financial aid is approximately $89,000.{{cite web|title=Tuition and Costs|url=https://apply.jhu.edu/affording-hopkins/tuition-costs/|access-date=2021-08-01|website=Undergraduate Admissions {{!}} Johns Hopkins University|language=en|archive-date=August 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210801125929/https://apply.jhu.edu/affording-hopkins/tuition-costs/|url-status=live}} However, 51% of full-time undergraduates receive financial aid covering 100% of their need.{{cite web|title=Overview of Johns Hopkins University|url=https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077|access-date=Aug 1, 2021|website=US News|archive-date=August 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210801190808/https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077|url-status=live}} The admit rate of Hopkins undergraduates to medical school is 80% and to law school is 97%, some of the highest rates in the US.{{cite web|title=Get The Facts|url=https://apply.jhu.edu/discover-jhu/get-the-facts/|access-date=2021-08-01|website=Undergraduate Admissions {{!}} Johns Hopkins University|language=en|archive-date=March 29, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170329170619/https://apply.jhu.edu/discover/by-the-numbers/|url-status=live}} The university is one of fourteen founding members of the Association of American Universities (AAU); it is also a member of the Consortium on Financing Higher Education (COFHE) and the Universities Research Association (URA).

Over time, applications to Johns Hopkins University have risen steadily; as a result, the selectivity of Johns Hopkins University has also increased. Early Decision I is an option at Johns Hopkins University for students who wish to demonstrate that the university is their first choice. These students, if admitted, are required to enroll. This application is due November 1. There is also another binding Early Decision II application due January 3. Many students, however, apply Regular Decision, which is a traditional non-binding round. These applications are due January 3 and students are notified in mid-March. The cost to apply to Hopkins is $70, though fee waivers are available. In 2014, Johns Hopkins ended legacy preference in admissions.{{cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/why-we-ended-legacy-admissions-johns-hopkins/605131/|title=Why We Ended Legacy Admissions at Johns Hopkins|last=Daniels|first=Ronald J.|date=January 18, 2020|website=The Atlantic|language=en-US|access-date=January 19, 2020|archive-date=January 19, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200119000059/https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/why-we-ended-legacy-admissions-johns-hopkins/605131/|url-status=live}} Johns Hopkins practices need-blind admission and meets the full financial need of all admitted students.{{cite news|date=2018-11-26|title=Bloomberg's record gift helps Johns Hopkins realize key goal of need-blind admissions|url=https://hub.jhu.edu/2018/11/26/michael-bloomberg-historic-donation-johns-hopkins/|access-date=2021-08-01|website=The Hub|language=en|archive-date=August 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210801125930/https://hub.jhu.edu/2018/11/26/michael-bloomberg-historic-donation-johns-hopkins/|url-status=live}}

The Johns Hopkins University Library system houses more than 3.6 million volumes and includes ten main divisions across the university's campuses. The largest segment of this system is the Sheridan Libraries, encompassing the Milton S. Eisenhower Library (the main library of the Homewood campus), the Brody Learning Commons, the Hutzler Reading Room ("The Hut") in Gilman Hall, the John Work Garrett Library at Evergreen House, and the George Peabody Library at the Peabody Institute campus.{{cite web|url = http://www.library.jhu.edu/about.html|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120923195237/http://www.library.jhu.edu/about.html|archive-date = September 23, 2012|title = The Sheridan Libraries|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = library.jhu.edu}}

The main library, constructed in the 1960s, was named for Milton S. Eisenhower, former president of the university and brother of former U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower. The university's stacks had previously been housed in Gilman Hall and departmental libraries. Only two of the Eisenhower library's six stories are above ground, though the building was designed so that every level receives natural light. The design accords with campus lore that no structure can be taller than Gilman Hall, the flagship academic building. A four-story expansion to the library, known as the Brody Learning Commons, opened in August 2012. The expansion features an energy-efficient, state-of-the-art technology infrastructure and includes study spaces, seminar rooms, and a rare books collection.{{cite web|title=Brody Learning Commons Opens at Johns Hopkins' Homewood Campus|url=http://releases.jhu.edu/2012/09/04/brody-learning-commons-opens-at-johns-hopkins-homewood-campus/|publisher=JHU|access-date=December 27, 2012|archive-date=January 28, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130128060301/http://releases.jhu.edu/2012/09/04/brody-learning-commons-opens-at-johns-hopkins-homewood-campus/|url-status=live}}

{{Main|Johns Hopkins University Press}}

The Johns Hopkins University Press is the publishing division of the Johns Hopkins University. It was founded in 1878 and holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously running university press in the United States. To date the Press has published more than 6,000 titles and currently publishes 65 scholarly periodicals and over 200 new books each year. Since 1993, the Johns Hopkins University Press has run Project MUSE, an online collection of over 250 full-text, peer-reviewed journals in the humanities and social sciences. The Press also houses the Hopkins Fulfilment Services (HFS), which handles distribution for a number of university presses and publishers. Taken together, the three divisions of the Press—Books, Journals (including MUSE) and HFS—make it one of the largest of America's university presses.

The opportunity to participate in important research is one of the distinguishing characteristics of Hopkins's undergraduate education. About 80 percent of undergraduates perform independent research, often alongside top researchers. In fiscal year 2020, Johns Hopkins spent nearly $3.1 billion on research, more than any other U.S. university for over 40 consecutive years.{{cite news |last1=June |first1=Audrey Williams |title=Where Research Spending Keeps Going Up |url=https://www.chronicle.com/article/where-research-spending-keeps-going-up |work=The Chronicle of Higher Education |date=2022-01-11 |archive-date=2023-04-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230421155710/https://www.chronicle.com/article/where-research-spending-keeps-going-up |url-status=live |access-date=2023-04-21}} Johns Hopkins has had seventy-seven members of the Institute of Medicine, forty-three Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigators, seventeen members of the National Academy of Engineering, and sixty-two members of the National Academy of Sciences. As of March 2025, 34 Nobel Prize winners have been affiliated with the university as alumni, faculty members or researchers, with the most recent winners being Gregg Semenza and William G. Kaelin.

Between 1999 and 2009, Johns Hopkins was among the most cited institutions in the world. It attracted nearly 1,222,166 citations and produced 54,022 papers under its name, ranking third globally after Harvard University and the Max Planck Society in the number of total citations published in Thomson Reuters-indexed journals over 22 fields in America. In 2020, Johns Hopkins University ranked 5 in number of utility patents granted out of all institutions in the world.{{cite web|title=Top 100 Worldwide Universities Granted U.S Utility Patents 202|url=https://academyofinventors.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/NAI-IPO-Top-100-Universities-Granted-U.S.-Utility-Patents-2020.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://academyofinventors.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/NAI-IPO-Top-100-Universities-Granted-U.S.-Utility-Patents-2020.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live}}

In 2000, Johns Hopkins received $95.4 million in research grants from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), making it the leading recipient of NASA research and development funding. In FY 2002, Hopkins became the first university to cross the $1 billion threshold on either list, recording $1.14 billion in total research and $1.023 billion in federally sponsored research. In FY 2008, Johns Hopkins University performed $1.68 billion in science, medical and engineering research, making it the leading U.S. academic institution in total R&D spending for the 30th year in a row, according to a National Science Foundation (NSF) ranking. These totals include grants and expenditures of JHU's Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.

In 2013, the Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships program was established by a $250 million gift from Michael Bloomberg. This program enables the university to recruit fifty researchers from around the world to joint appointments throughout the nine divisions and research centers. Each professor must be a leader in interdisciplinary research and be active in undergraduate education.Anderson, Nick.

Charles Village, the region of North Baltimore surrounding the university, has undergone several restoration projects, and the university has gradually bought the property around the school for additional student housing and dormitories. The Charles Village Project, completed in 2008, brought new commercial spaces to the neighborhood. The project included Charles (now Scott-Bates) Commons, a new, modern residence hall that includes popular retail franchises. In 2015, the university began development of new commercial properties, including a modern upperclassmen apartment complex, restaurants and eateries, and a CVS retail store.{{cite web|url=http://hub.jhu.edu/2015/03/26/st-paul-project-groundbreaking/|title=Construction begins on mixed-use development project near JHU's Homewood campus|date=March 26, 2015|website=The Hub|access-date=February 18, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170218145242/http://hub.jhu.edu/2015/03/26/st-paul-project-groundbreaking/|archive-date=February 18, 2017}}

Hopkins invested in improving campus life with an arts complex in 2001, the Mattin Center, and a three-story sports facility, the O'Connor Recreation Center. The large on-campus dining facilities at Homewood were renovated in the summer of 2006. The Mattin Center was demolished in 2021 to make room for the new Student Center scheduled to open in the fall of 2024.

Quality of life is enriched by the proximity of neighboring academic institutions, including Loyola College, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), UMBC, Goucher College, and Towson University, as well as the nearby neighborhoods of Hampden, the Inner Harbor, Fells Point, and Mount Vernon.

Students and alumni are active on and off campus. Johns Hopkins has been home to several secret societies, many of which are now defunct. Blue Jay Supper Society is the only active secret society with open applications.{{Cite web |title=Blue Jay Supper Society |url=https://bluejaysuppersociety.com/ |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=bluejaysuppersociety.com}} Membership is open to undergraduate and graduate students as well as alumni.

Most fraternities keep houses in the nearby Charles Village or Oakenshawe neighborhoods, while sororities do not.

While it has been speculated that Johns Hopkins has relatively few traditions for a school of its age and that many past traditions have been forgotten, a handful of myths and customs are ubiquitous knowledge among the community. One such long-standing myth surrounds the university seal that is embedded into the floor of the Gilman Hall foyer. The myth holds that any current student to step on the seal will never graduate. In reverence for this tradition, the seal has been fenced off from the rest of the room.

An annual winter event is the "Lighting of the Quads", a ceremony each winter during which the campus is lit up in holiday lights. Recent years have included singing and fireworks.

The Spring Fair has been a Johns Hopkins tradition since 1972 and has since grown to be the largest student-run festival in the country.{{cite web |date=2015 |title=Spring Fair |url=http://www.jhuspringfair.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226235741/http://www.jhuspringfair.com/ |archive-date=February 26, 2015 |access-date=February 26, 2015 |website=JHU Spring Fair}} Popular among Hopkins students and Baltimore inhabitants alike, the Spring Fair features carnival rides, vendors, food and a beer garden.

Living on campus is typically required for first- and second-year undergraduates. Freshman housing is centered around Freshman Quad, which consists of three residence hall complexes: The two Alumni Memorial Residences (AMR I and AMR II) plus Buildings A and B. The AMR dormitories are each divided into houses, subunits named for figures from the university's early history. Freshmen are also housed in Wolman Hall and in certain wings of McCoy Hall, both located slightly outside the campus. Dorms at Hopkins are generally co-ed with same-gender rooms, though a new policy has allowed students to live in mixed-gender rooms since Fall 2014.

Students determine where they will live during sophomore year through a housing lottery. Sophomores in university housing occupy one of four buildings: McCoy Hall, the Bradford Apartments, the Homewood Apartments, and Scott-Bates Commons.

Most juniors and seniors move into nearby apartments or row-houses. Most are located in the neighboring Charles Village community. Forty-five percent of the student body lives off-campus while 55% lives on campus.{{cite web|url = http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077/student-life|title = Johns Hopkins University Student Life|access-date = February 26, 2015|website = U.S. News & World Report|url-status=live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150215115940/http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077/student-life|archive-date = February 15, 2015}}
