Health Policy and Law Research

RWJF Issues RFP for Health Policy and Law Research

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has issued a Call for Proposals for research projects that can help build an evidence base for policies that lead to a Culture of Health.

Through its Policies for Action: Policy and Law Research to Build a Culture of Health program, the foundation seeks to engage longstanding health and healthcare researchers, as well as experts in fields such as housing, education, transportation, and the built environment who have not worked in health before. The goal is to develop research that generates actionable evidence — data and information that can guide legislators and other policy makers, public agencies, educators, advocates, community groups, and individuals.

The research may examine established laws, regulations, and policies, as well as potential new policies and approaches, and should inform the significant gaps in knowledge with respect to what policies can serve as levers to improve population health and well-being and achieve greater levels of health equity.

DEADLINE: MARCH 15, 2016 (LETTERS OF INTENT)
