The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is seeking proposals for its program entitled “Policies for Action: Policy and Law Research to Build a Culture of Health” to help build the evidence base for policies that can help build a Culture of Health.
Policies for Action are interested in learning how national, state or local policies can promote lifelong health and health equity for individuals, families, and communities; as well as what enabling factors promote the adoption and spread of good policies.
