Grants to USA and territories nonprofit organizations and public entities for research that will improve the affordability of high-quality and equitable health care. Applicants must submit a preliminary proposal prior to applying. Eligible proposals benefit historically marginalized groups and communities impacted by discrimination, inequities, and structural racism. To be considered for funding, the proposed project must be led or co-led by people directly impacted by the policy being studied, such as a community-based organization or advocacy group comprised of people from the community of focus.
The purpose of the 2022 RTHS call for proposals is to support policy-relevant, community-engaged research that helps improve the affordability of care for communities most impacted by structural racism, inequities, and discrimination. RWJF seeks proposals for research and policy analysis projects that examine the design, implementation, and/or impact of local, state, and/or national policies related to the affordability of high-quality, equitable care. Studies may include people’s ability to: afford health insurance; pay for healthcare services (even with insurance); pay for transportation; child care; and other services that in turn affect access to medical care. The projects’ goals are to generate timely and useful information for use by policymakers and other decision-makers.
Proposals should focus on a historically marginalized racial or ethnic group; people with disabilities; immigrants; people from the LGBTQ+ community; or another community that has historically faced systemic and persistent barriers to good health. RWJF especially welcome proposals that consider intersecting identities across race, gender, sexual orientation, disability status, and other dimensions. In consideration of our commitment to community-engaged research, people from the community of focus must have a leadership role in the design, conduct, and dissemination of the proposed research or analysis.
RWJF expects to fund a diverse range of studies with varying budgets and timelines.
