This year marks the eighth anniversary of the launch of Evidence for Action (E4A) and our first call for proposals. So far we’ve funded over 75 research projects totaling more than $25 million. From these projects we’re continuing to learn a great deal about how programs, policies, and other interventions impact health and equity. We’ve also developed strategies and resources to support applicants through the application submission and review process. In addition, we’ve expanded our team to broaden our collective experience, capacity, and expertise.
As the program has grown, we’ve also updated our call for proposals to explicitly call out that addressing root causes of health inequity requires disrupting structural racism and other systems of oppression. E4A now funds research projects led by teams centering racial equity to discover which structural solutions are likely to be most successful in advancing health and racial equity.
We’re really looking forward to what the future holds for E4A and our funding opportunities!
