The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Health Equity Scholars for Action (HES4A) program supports the career development and academic advancement of historically underrepresented researchers conducting health equity research. Grants will support three aspects of career development: 1) research, 2) mentorship, and 3) connection with a community of support. Applications are due May 31. Please note, an applicant’s “home institution” must be an accredited academic institution.

Scholars receive:

• Funding for research on potential solutions to improve health, equity, and well-being for all;
• Coaching and mentorship to help develop and strengthen technical skills and explore career opportunities; and,
• A professional network of community partners, researchers, public health practitioners, and funders committed to advancing the health equity research field.

With your help, we can find and support a new generation of scholars and better ways to achieve health and racial equity.
