New Connections Initiative: Round 3 (Senior Consultants)
Application Deadline: 1/4/2008
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) New Connections Initiative is designed to expand the diversity of perspectives that inform RWJF programming and introduce new researchers and scholars to the Foundation, while simultaneously helping to meet staff needs for data analysis that measures progress towards program objectives. New Connections invites Senior Consultants from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities to address specific questions posed by one of RWJF's program areas. Senior Consultants are individuals who have the expertise and/or research skills necessary to address relevant issues in health and health care. Consultants from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities include individuals from ethnic or racial minorities or low-income communities, first-generation college graduates, or others who have historically been underrepresented in research disciplines supported by RWJF.In Round 3, Senior Consultants will receive awards up to $50,000 each to undertake research projects based on the topics for study listed in the Call for Proposals. All funding is expected to last one year. Senior Consultants are eligible for contracts made with them directly, or grants may be awarded to their home institution.
In Round 3 of New Connections, we ask applicants to address research questions from six programming areas: Health Insurance Coverage, Human Capital, Pioneer, Public Health, Quality/Equality and Vulnerable Populations.
