Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Announces Public Health Law Research Grant Solicitation
Deadline: April 14, 2010 (Brief Proposals)

Through its Public Health Law Research program, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation seeks to build the evidence for and strengthen the use of regulatory, legal, and policy solutions to improve public health. RWJF is equally interested in identifying and ameliorating laws and legal practices that unintentionally harm health.

Up to $3.5 million in total funding is available under this Call for Proposals for research studies. The program will provide eighteen-month awards of up to $150,000 each for short-term studies and thirty-month awards of up to $450,000 each for complex and comprehensive studies.

Preference will be given to those applicant organizations that are either public entities or nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or a tribal group recognized by the U.S. federal government or affiliated with a tribal group. Applicant organizations must be based in the United States or its territories. The focus of the program is the United States; studies involving other countries will be considered only to the extent they may directly inform U.S. law and policy.

The complete Call for Proposals is available at the RWJF Web site.
