FUNDING-Evidence for Action:
Investigator-Initiated Research to Build a Culture of Health-Matching Service;
April 26, 2018
Agency:
Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation
Description:
The goal of this
effort is to catalyze research partnerships that result in rigorously designed
studies that could be funded by Evidence for Action (E4A), another RWJF program,
or other funding source. We are particularly interested in matching
organizations that do not have a track record of RWJF funding. To achieve this
goal, E4A will support a “matching team” overseen by a grantee organization that
meets the eligibility criteria noted below. The grantee’s primary role will be
to link organizations working in and with communities with strong research
partners to rigorously evaluate the health impacts of program or policy
interventions. Organizations working in and with communities may include health
care providers, nonprofits, community-based organizations, and social service or
government agencies, which have the infrastructure to implement initiatives but
limited research capacity for scientifically rigorous evaluation of their
impact.
Award: one $700,000 grant
for an initial 24-month period; NOTE: Must re-grant $200,000 to referred
organizations.
