RWJF Evidence for Action: Making Health a Shared Value
https://www.rwjf.org/en/library/funding-opportunities/2018/evidence-for-...

We seek evidence on the extent to which Action Area 1 drivers—mindsets and expectations, sense of community, and civic engagement—can be changed through intervention at the individual or population levels to result in better health, well-being and equity outcomes.

  • Aim 1: To test the effects of specific interventions on the Action Area 1 drivers, in order to determine the extent to which they can be changed; and
  • Aim 2: To establish evidence of causal relationships between Action Area 1 drivers and health outcomes.

Action Area 1 drivers may be undertaken through the lens of many disciplines, including but not limited to: anthropology, child development, community development, economics, education, epidemiology, health policy, medicine, history, political science, psychology, public health, sociology, and urban planning. We therefore welcome applications from any discipline, as well as applicant teams and research designs that are interdisciplinary in nature. We also encourage applicants representing diverse geographic areas and first-time applicants to apply.
