Exploring Equitable Futures Grant - Due 10/15

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is taking bold leaps to transform health in our lifetime and pave the way, together, to a future where health is no longer a privilege, but a right.

We have set three ambitious goals for our work:

  • Economic Inclusion for Family Wellbeing
  • Equitable and Accountable Public Health and Healthcare Systems
  • Healthy and Equitable Community Conditions

The purpose of this Exploring Equitable Futures call for proposals (CFP) is to support projects that seed new and unconventional ideas that could radically advance health equity for generations to come.

We aim to fund projects that:

  • Explore the future by researching and experimenting with ideas that are ahead of the curve or at the edge of our collective imagination;
  • Shine a light on the emerging trends and forces that are shaping our future for better or worse—and suggest ways to navigate them to mitigate harm and advance health equity;
  • Dream big and challenge conventional wisdom to surface possibilities and uncover new paths to dismantle structural racism and build a more equitable future.

Beginning February 3, 2025, proposals will be accepted on a rolling admission until October 15, 2025.  

  • All applications submitted before October 15, 2025 at 3 p.m. ET, will be reviewed.
