Proposals for Data to Improve Community Conditions Shaped by Structural Racism – Apr 20

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has issued a call for proposals for data to improve community conditions shaped by structural racism.

According to the RWJF, the COVID-19 pandemic underscored that wealth, racism, and privilege play an outsized role in how long and how well people live and the importance of data to capture and help address the structural racism that creates inequities in community conditions.

This call for proposals provides grants for organizations to use data to inform efforts to improve community conditions shaped by structural racism, as RWJF believes that such support is critical for building data capacity in communities to advance health equity. RWJF expects to award up to 35 individual grants of $40,000 each, with a period of performance of nine months.  Nonprofit organizations based in the U.S. are eligible to apply.

Applicant organizations must be either public entities or nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) or section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Nonprofit organizations must be based in the U.S. Universities, whether public or private, are ineligible to apply but are eligible to partner with an applicant that is a 501(c)(3) or section 501(c)(4) organization.

The deadline for receipt of the registration of intent to apply is April 20, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. ET. All eligible registered organizations will receive an invitation to apply by May 2, 2022. The deadline for receipt of full proposals is May 26, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. ET.
