The applicant guide outlines general information about the funding opportunity, the application and review process, and questions that should be addressed in the letter of intent. It also includes links to additional resources. 

These interactive workshops can cover a number of topics, such as generating research questions that are actionable and relevant to improving health and racial equity; building a dissemination strategy; developing a competitive application; or enhancing equity in the research process. E4A team members will work with you to determine the topic(s) and format that works best for your group. Workshops are interactive sessions where participants have the opportunity to ask questions, present ideas and obtain feedback, and connect with E4A team members.

The FAQ section provides answer to common questions regarding eligibility, submission, and funding.

In this video, Natalie DiRocco, E4A's Grantee Manager, leads a guided tour of the E4A website highlighting where to find applicant materials and other helpful information. She also demonstrates how to navigate the RWJF Application & Review system to submit an application. 

E4A offers two TA Services to applicants proposing to evaluate an innovative or important intervention to address a critical population health issue, but without sufficient rigor of design or capacity to conduct research, are given the option to receive Design Consultation or Matching Services. To participate in either service, applicants may either be referred after submitting a letter of intent (LOI) or may request participation prior to LOI submission.

The E4A Methods Blog is intended to provide an informal setting to discuss methods issues. Associated Methods Notes offer insights into the type of methodological issues E4A leadership consider when evaluating proposed research designs.

Methods notes offer overviews, insights, and examples of the different research design and analysis methods that can be used in different situations. They also offer guidelines for determining things like effect sizes and conducting power calculations.
