Equity-Focused Policy Research
Application Deadline: Tuesday, February 16, 2021

Research shows that the earliest years of life are a critical period of human development. Yet, some families do not have access to the basic necessities and resources to foster the nurturing experiences and stimulating environments that young children need to thrive.
RWJF is seeking research proposals that explore policies and programming to help improve families' access to the social safety net system. Grants, up to $200,000 each, are available to study the ways that access to early child care education, income supports, and nutrition supports interact and potentially reinforce one another to promote families' well-being. Academic institutions, public entities and private nonprofit organizations, state and local government agencies, and for-profit organizations from a variety of fields are encouraged to apply.
