Grants awarded under this program go to the organizations (health care organizations, providers or health insurance plans) implementing the intervention. Grantees may conduct the evaluation in partnership with a recognized academic institution or research group.  Proposals must focus on innovative interventions that reduce racial and ethnic disparities in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, depression, or diabetes.

 

All applicants must submit proposals for this program only through the RWJF Grantmaking Online system.  Please register in Grantmaking Online to learn the details of the proposal process, including proposal content and format requirements.  You are not obligated to submit a proposal if you register. 

There are two stages in the application process: 1) the submission of a brief proposal that will describe the project and, if invited, 2) the submission of a full proposal.
