The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s (RWJF) signature research program, Health Data for Action (HD4A), aims to reduce the barriers often faced in accessing valuable data, by serving as a bridge between data owners and interested researchers. Through the 2023 HD4A Call for Proposals (CFP), managed by AcademyHealth, RWJF will make 16 unique data sets available to successful applicants – at no cost to the research team. The application deadline is Friday, August 18, 2023.

The 2023 HD4A CFP is primarily for data access awards. Most projects will not be accompanied by a financial award, but limited funding is available for first-time investigators on a grant award.

The proposed studies should enable timely and actionable research that uses the available data to answer important, policy-relevant questions. Note: Applications with project directors from backgrounds historically underrepresented in research disciplines because of their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability, or other factors, are encouraged to apply.
