We spend money on programs we know improve health, like housing, nutrition, financial assistance, education, child care, or legal aid. But the financial benefits of these often flow elsewhere, in reduced costs for medical care from diseases and injuries prevented. Can better collaboration help balance this out-and help halt the inequities baked into the current system? RWJF's Systems for Action program seeks proposals to measure the impact of collaborations across medical, social, and public health systems that allow organizations to better share in the costs, benefits, power and influence that govern these initiatives. Grants, up to $500,000 each, are available for research to evaluate solutions to these persistent problems. Learn more about eligibility and selection criteria > Want to know more? Attend an applicant webinar on March 17, 2021 to find out what we're looking for and hear answers to frequently asked questions.
