Funding Opportunity: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

August 12, 2025

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is pleased to present the Exploring Equitable Futures LOI. The purpose of this call for proposals (CFP) is to support projects that seed new and unconventional ideas that could radically advance health challenges for generations to come. Preference will be given to applicants that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are not private foundations or Type III supporting organizations. Applicant organizations must be based in the United States or its territories. Submissions from teams that include both U.S. and international members are eligible. 

These projects should address one or more of RWJF’s Prioritized SystemsWe are particularly interested in projects that seed new and unconventional ideas within the Health Science Knowledge System—or that reimagine this system completely. At RWJF, we believe that the knowledge and evidence that’s needed to guide better decision making, as well as policies that influence health, must include wisdom generated and shared by communities.

For more information regarding project criteria, please visit the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation website. Faculty interested in applying should contact The Foundation Relations Team.

Deadline: October 15, 2025
