Eligibility

How do I determine if a proposal "primarily" focuses on childhood obesity, substance abuse, tobacco, etc? Why aren't these areas, as well as proposals primarily focusing on the health care system, covered by this program?

Answer:

Childhood obesity, substance abuse and health care system research have been significantly funded through other current and recent RWJF programs. While studies that involve these topics in a partial or incidental way may be eligible for funding, we will not fund studies that solely focus on these topics.

If I am not chosen for one of the grants as part of this funding opportunity, will I still be eligible for other RWJF grants?

Yes, interested applicants may apply for other RWJF awards.

May we submit a proposal that is also being considered for funding by other organizations (government funding agency, foundation, other)?

Answer:

Yes, you may submit a proposal that is under consideration for funding from another source. If awarded funding, you must disclose all funding sources to RWJF. You may receive funding from multiple sources for a single project. However, you may not use an RWJF award to fund costs covered by another funding source. You may also submit a proposal to do additional data collection or analysis to address an important health law issue as a "supplement" to a non-health-law study currently funded by another agency.

If we have one existing RWJF grant, can we apply for a different RWJF grant?

Answer:

Yes, you may apply for a grant under the PHLR program if you and/or your organization has other funding from RWJF. If selected as a finalist, the applicant will need to make a strong case that he/she has the time and support necessary to accomplish the goals of both projects.

Is there a limit on the number of proposals submitted by a single organization?

Answer:

No, there is no limit, but each proposal must be submitted for a different project and would be expected to have different goals, project teams and/or deliverables.
