with up to $1.5 million in funding (or $250K in individual grants up to two
years) for research efforts that identify policies, laws and regulations in
the public and private sectors that support improvements in population
health, well-being or equity. Our focus is intentionally wide-ranging. We
recognize that policies developed both within health and prevention sectors
and beyond—in education, economics, transportation, justice, and housing,
for example—can ultimately affect the ability of all Americans to lead
healthy lives.
The goal is to build an evidence base that provides legislators and
policymakers as well as public agencies, advocates and other stakeholders
with the data and information they need to formulate laws, regulations and
policies to improve health, wellbeing and equity.
We welcome any area of research that aligns with Policies for Action’s
objectives, but particular considerations will be given to research on
policies that:
· Focus on early childhood, or have lifelong, even
multigenerational, benefits.
· Are preventive rather than remedial.
· Advance a community’s own priorities. For instance, researchers
looking at government and community policy initiatives might explore both
health outcomes and the business case for these efforts.
· Highlight collaboration between the public and private sectors, or
innovations within the private sector.
