Call for Proposals for Systems for Action (S4A) Research Program 2024

Dated: December 20, 2023

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has released a new research funding opportunity through the Systems for Action Research Program.

Donor Name: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)

State: All States

County: All Counties

Type of Grant: Grant

Deadline: 02/07/2024

Size of the Grant: $100,000 to $500,000

Grant Duration: 3 Years

Details:

Launched in 2015, the S4A program supports studies that test innovative approaches for aligning delivery and financing systems across sectors in ways that address the health and social needs of people experiencing health inequities.

This 2024 call for proposals (CFP) will provide funding for a new cohort of research studies to produce new, actionable evidence about how to help medical, social, and public health systems work together to address forms of systemic racism. Each study funded under this CFP must (1) identify a specific form of systemic racism that limits health and wellbeing for affected populations; and (2) investigate a novel systems alignment strategy for solving the problem that engages relevant representatives from medical care, public health, and social services systems.

Special Topics of Interest

Studies that address one or more of the following topics are of special interest in this CFP:

  • Understanding Systemic Racism Embedded in Medical, Social, and Public Health Systems
    • Studies within this priority area should improve our understanding about specific forms of systemic racism that operate within or affect medical, social, and public health.
  • Addressing Resource Inequities Across Systems
    • Studies within this priority area should evaluate novel strategies for equitably allocating and sharing resources across medical, social, and public health systems in order to support collaborative solutions to systemic racism.
  • Strengthening the Voice and Authority of Marginalized Communities in Systems Alignment Strategies
    • Studies within this priority area should evaluate strategies for strengthening the voice and influence of marginalized and racialized communities in determining how medical, social, and public health systems operate and work together to address forms of systemic racism.

Two Categories of Research Awards

Applicants must read the following descriptions to determine which category of award they are eligible for, and apply only to that category:

Developmental Research

This award will support exploratory research and pilot studies to accomplish one or more of the following:

  • improve understanding of forms of systemic racism and potential pathways for dismantling or disrupting racism through systems alignment strategies; and pilot-testing novel systems alignment strategies in order to examine their feasibility, acceptability, and potential impact on forms of systemic racism.

Impact Research

This award will support studies to accomplish one or more of the following:

  • examine the impact of forms of systemic racism on relevant measures of health and wellbeing for affected populations, in order to identify potential pathways for disrupting these health impacts through systems alignment strategies; and examine the impact of a novel system alignment strategy on relevant measures of health and wellbeing for affected populations, with a focus on understanding the strategy’s successes and failures in addressing forms of systemic racism embedded within systems.

Key Activities 

Each study funded under the S4A program will undertake the following activities:

  • Design and implement a proposed study that improves our understanding of systemic racism and expands our knowledge about strategies that help medical, social, and public health systems work together to dismantle and disrupt this racism.
  • Engage relevant systems and community representatives in the design, implementation, and translation of the research project.
  • Develop resources to help relevant audiences use the evidence produced by the study to achieve systems alignment and systems change within and beyond the study settings. Examples include implementation guides, tip-sheets, readiness assessments, and decision support tools that help audiences implement and replicate the system alignment approaches that are examined in the study.
  • Work collaboratively with the S4A national program office and other S4A research investigators to identify and leverage potential synergies across research projects, to synthesize findings across studies, and to disseminate results broadly.
  • Participate actively both in research dissemination and translation mechanisms organized by the national program office and RWJF, including research-in-progress webinars, blogs, podcasts, research meetings, and policy briefings.
  • Identify and pursue opportunities for research expansion, replication, and follow-on studies from RWJF and other research funding agencies.

The Foundation may require additional documentation from applicant organizations. Applicant organizations must be based in the United States or its territories. Awards will be made to organizations, not to individuals. Multiorganizational consortia are encouraged to apply as long as a single eligible organization is designated as the primary applicant responsible for maintaining consortium agreements with other participating organizations.
