Description

Research to Advance Racial and Indigenous Health Equity. Call for Proposals. Applications Due: May 28, 2025. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is committed to improving health equity in the United States. RWJF has deepened its focus on partnering with affected communities to promote health equity and combat structural racism as the most fundamental barrier to health in America. One of the ways the Foundation does this is through Evidence for Action (E4A), a national program that funds action-oriented health equity research, which prioritizes community knowledge and facilitates the relationships and governance structures that build community power, ownership of research, and systems change. For more information and to apply, visit: https://www.rwjf.org/en/grants/active-funding-opportunities/2025/research-to-advance-racial-and-indigenous-health-equity.html

Funding Amount
Awards may range from $50,000 to $200,000. Please request only what is necessary to allow us to fund as many recipients as possible. We expect larger awards to correspond with more distributed funding (e.g., multiple people’s salaries or multiple activities).

­Project Directors having backgrounds and life experiences that are underrepresented on research teams, including Indigenous , Black, Latino, and other persons of color ;

All organizations based in the United States are eligible to apply.
