What is Evidence for Action?

Evidence for Action (E4A) is a Signature Program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. We are dedicated to advancing action-oriented racial and Indigenous health equity research. We aim to practice an approach that is intentionally antiracist, anticolonial, and focused on solutions that are innovative, push beyond the status quo, and focus on root causes.

Our Grants

E4A grants support action-oriented community-driven research that uplifts the knowledge, expertise, and power of Indigenous and other historically oppressed and marginalized communities of color to develop or test solutions that advance racial and Indigenous health justice.

What I love about E4A is that it embodies many of the values that I hold close — equity, culture, and community. I'm thrilled to support research that uses these values to create meaningful change in communities.”
