Junior Investigators Program
Application Deadline: Nov. 13, 2008 <http://recp.rm02.net/ctt?m=1226614&r=Mzk0MTI2MjAxNwS2&b=0&j=MTMwOTIyOTU5S0&k=Link1&kt=1&kd=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rwjf.org%2Fapplications%2Fsolicited%2Fcfp.jsp%3FID%3D20425>
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s (RWJF) New Connections: Increasing Diversity of RWJF Programming aims 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. The program invites Junior Investigators-scholars from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities who have received their doctorate within the last seven years–to address specific questions posed by one of RWJF’s program areas using secondary data analysis. Eligible scholars include individuals from ethnic or racial minorities or low-income communities, first-generation college graduates, or others who historically have been underrepresented in research disciplines that RWJF supports.
In this funding round, RWJF asks applicants to address research questions from six program areas: Childhood Obesity, Coverage, Human Capital, Public Health, Quality/Equality and Vulnerable Populations. The six areas participating in this solicitation have each identified specific research questions they would like addressed in this funding cycle.
