Submission – Robert Wood Johnson Foundation –Health
and Climate Solutions; January 8, 2019
Purpose:
Through
this funding opportunity, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) seeks to
develop and amplify the evidence around a set of approaches that improve
community health and well-being and advance health equity, while also addressing
climate change adaptation or mitigation. Eligible local approaches can focus on
one or more of a range of determinants of health—including, but not limited to:
air quality; energy sources; transportation or mobility design; food and water
systems; housing; and health systems. Proposals should specify the determinants
of health that the given approach is addressing, and the expected impact on
health and well-being. Grant funds will support research and evaluation
activities to develop the best possible evidence highlighting what is working
well with the select approach and why; where there have been opportunities and
challenges; and how other communities may learn from this approach to tackle
similar challenges. *All interventions eligible for this funding must
have been implemented and active for at least one year as of the date of the
application.
