Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Unsolicited Grants

Sponsor Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Deadlines Applications accepted on an ongoing basis
Purpose RWJF accepts at any time unsolicited proposals in its Building Human Capital, Pioneer and Vulnerable Populations program areas. The Human Capital Portfolio seeks to assure that the nation has a diverse, well-trained leadership and workforce in health and health care to meet the needs of all Americans. The Pioneer Portfolio aims to support novel, high-return ideas that may have far-reaching impact on people's health, the quality of care they receive and the systems through which that care is provided. Through the vulnerable populations portfolio, we support promising new ideas that address health and health care problems that intersect with social factors - poverty, race, education and housing - and affect society’s most vulnerable people.

The most promising unsolicited proposals will:

  • address the strategic objectives of our Building Human Capital, Pioneer or Vulnerable Populations program areas.
  • be new or innovative.
  • be best suited for funding through RWJF—rather than through local, public or private sources of funding.
  • be sustainable without relying on ongoing RWJF funding.
  • show potential for measurable impact and meaningful change.
