Apply for RWJF's Interdisciplinary Research Leaders program by May 5
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s (RWJF) Interdisciplinary Research Leaders (IRL) program is a leadership opportunity for teams of researchers and community partners, including community organizers and advocates. These teams use the power of applied research—informing and supporting critical work being done in communities—to accelerate and advance health and equity. Their innovation helps build a culture of health, one that enables everyone in America to live longer, healthier lives.
- Application deadline: Wednesday, May 5 at 3 p.m.
The two themes for 2021 are “Structural Racism in Healthcare” and “Structural Racism and Community Health and Well-being.”
Do you want to apply your leadership skills and collaborate across sectors and disciplines? Do you want to lead action-oriented and community-engaged research to address structural racism? If so, apply to be an Interdisciplinary Research Leader!
