Robert Wood Johnson Foundation — Exploring Equitable Futures Call for Proposals

The purpose of this Exploring Equitable Futures call for proposals (CFP) is to support projects that seed new and unconventional ideas that could radically advance health equity for generations to come. They are particularly interested in projects that seed new and unconventional ideas within the Health Science Knowledge System—or that reimagine this system completely. At RWJF, they believe that the knowledge and evidence that’s needed to guide better decisionmaking, as well as policies that influence health, must include wisdom generated and shared by communities, including those that have been traditionally ignored or undervalued. They are working to transform the way we produce, share, and use health evidence so that it is rooted in equity and justice.
