Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Announces Roadmaps to Health: Community Grants 2012 Call for Proposals
Deadline: May 2, 2012 (Brief Proposals)
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Roadmaps to Health Community Grants program will support communities working to implement policy or system changes to address one of the social or economic factors that, as defined by the County Health Rankings, most strongly influence health outcomes in their community. These include education, employment and income, family and social support, and community safety.
Grantees will be organizations that participate in established coalitions or networks spanning multiple sectors and perspectives and may include representatives from business, education, public health, healthcare, community organizations, community members, policy advocates, foundations, and policymakers. Applicants must engage community members in the planning and implementation of projects, and must collaborate with organizations having expertise in improving the health of the public. Applicants also must secure 100 percent matching support, including a cash match of at least 50 percent, with the balance as in-kind support.
Up to twenty grants will be awarded in this solicitation. Grantees will receive awards of up to $200,000 each for up to twenty-four months to implement their proposed policy or system change strategy.
To be eligible, an applicant organization must be located in the United States or its territories. Applicants must be a nonprofit organization that is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, a tribal group recognized by the U.S. federal government, or a state or local government agency.
Applicant Web conference calls will be held on March 20 and April 20, 2012. Registration is required.
The complete Call for Proposals, application procedures, and Web conference call details are available at the RWJF Web site.
