RWJF New Connections Initiative: Bringing Diversity to RWJF Grantmaking and Increasing Secondary Data Analyses

Welcome to the New Connections Initiative, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). New Connections is designed to expand the diversity of perspectives that inform RWJF programming and introduce new researchers and scholars to the Foundation, while simultaneously helping to meet Foundation staff needs for data analysis that measures progress towards program objectives.

This program seeks early to mid-career scholars who have been underrepresented in research activities. This includes researchers who are historically underrepresented ethnic or racial minorities, first-generation college graduates, and individuals from low-income communities.

This 3rd round will consider proposals addressing questions from the Health Insurance Coverage, Building Human Capital, Childhood Obesity, Pioneer, Public Health, Quality/Equality, and Vulnerable Populations teams. We are pleased to invite scholars to participate in the 2008 program.
