Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

GW's Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) shared two RFPs from RWJF. Both could be relevant to many areas due to their interdisciplinary natures. Those interested in applying should reach out to the CFR office at cfr@gwu.edu.

Full RFPs:

Building Evidence on Income Supports for Low-Income Families with Young Children
Income supports may reduce poverty in households with young children; provide critical resources to help families support children’s development; diminish families’ stress levels; and thereby advance health equity. (RWJF plans to support research on the two other policy areas addressed in the research agenda—access to ECE and nutrition supports—through separate calls for proposals.)

Understanding and Supporting Anchor Businesses to Build a Culture of HealthThis call for proposals will focus on supporting empirical research to understand the ways that for-profit anchors advance health and well-being in the communities where they are located.
