What is Evidence for Action?
Evidence for Action (E4A) is a Signature Program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. We are dedicated to developing the evidence base to align with RWJF’s vision of and commitment to advancing health and racial equity. We do this by funding investigator-initiated research and providing technical assistance to researchers and organizations working in communities to evaluate interventions.
Our Grants
E4A primarily awards grants to encourage and support innovative, rigorous research on the impact of programs, policies, and practices on health and racial equity.

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.”
