The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) aims to improve health and healthcare for all in the United States. Its mission encompasses enhancing the health and well-being of individuals and communities, with a notable emphasis on addressing health equity and fostering environments where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve the best possible health outcomes.
Health Policy Research Scholars is a national leadership program for doctoral students in any academic discipline who are starting their second year of study and want to apply their research to help build healthier and more equitable communities. The program is for doctoral students who are deeply committed to research that works to advance antiracism and structural change work aligned with the health needs of the most impacted communities. HPRS supports researchers from diverse backgrounds, particularly those with lived experiences of inequity, marginalization, and oppression.
