RWJF announces advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion in policy and law research funding opportunity

To advance equitable and inclusive policies, we need greater diversity in policy and law research. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Policies for Action program is launching a new funding and mentorship opportunity for early-career policy researchers.

They are seeking historically underrepresented, post-doctoral scholars to study existing policies and law reform so everyone may have a fair and just opportunity to live their healthiest life.
