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 to build a Culture of Health and commitment to advance 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 awards grants to encourage and support innovative, rigorous research on the impact of programs, policies, and practices on health and well-being, with a particular focus on research that will help advance health and racial equity.
Selected research topics

Supportive prenatal substance use policies are associated with better outcomes for babies and pregnant people. Punitive policies may harm infants.
Featured Event
I am excited to be a part of the E4A team, whose mission is to merge rigorous, scientific methods and actionable change to influence public health and reach health equity.
