Deadline: 1 June 2018
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is seeking proposals for a program entitled “Evidence for Action: Making Health a Shared Value” to improve the understanding of the Action Area 1 drivers and outcomes related to health, well-being and equity, particularly with respect to disadvantaged children and families.
This call for proposals (CFP) seeks evidence on the extent to which Action Area 1 drivers—mindsets and expectations, sense of community, and civic engagement—can be changed through intervention at the individual or population levels to result in better health, well-being and equity outcomes.
Aims
- Aim 1: To test the effects of specific interventions on the Action Area 1 drivers, in order to determine the extent to which they can be changed; and
- Aim 2: To establish evidence of causal relationships between Action Area 1 drivers and health outcomes.
Grant Information
- Total Awards will be up to $2.5 million through this CFP, with the majority of funding dedicated to research that is either specific to disadvantaged children and families, or will benefit these groups.
- Grant periods are flexible, with total durations of up to 48 months, and preference for projects that produce findings in the near term.
Eligibility and Selection Criteria
- Preference will be given to applicant organizations that are either institutes of higher education, public entities or nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, but other types of nonprofit and for-profit organizations are eligible to apply.
- Applicant organizations must be based in the United States or its territories. While the principal investigator is not required to hold an advanced degree, the applicant team must demonstrate the ability to conduct the proposed research.
- They recognize that research on Action Area 1 drivers may be undertaken through the lens of many disciplines, including but not limited to: anthropology, child development, community development, economics, education, epidemiology, health policy, medicine, history, political science, psychology, public health, sociology, and urban planning. Therefore, they welcome applications from any discipline, as well as applicant teams and research designs that are interdisciplinary in nature. They also encourage applicants representing diverse geographic areas and first-time applicants to apply.
