Policies for Action (P4A), a signature research program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is issuing a special call for proposals (CFP) to advance health equity by actively seeking new and diverse perspectives from the policy research field. This opportunity is designed to support researchers from multiple disciplines to better understand and find solutions that will promote health equity and foster action on policies and laws that ensure all people in America can attain and preserve good health and well-being.

This opportunity will support early career researchers from underrepresented and historically disadvantaged backgrounds to:

Engage in career development activities and mentorship that will enhance their research capacity;

Develop a research project that examines existing policies or policy changes that can influence population health, well-being, and equity;

Produce and translate timely research results; and

Collaborate with other researchers to create a healthier, more equitable future for all people in America.

P4A will provide support and training for up to six investigators. Two of these six will be researchers located in and conducting research within the state of New Jersey.
