Overview


The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s (RWJF) signature research program, Health Data for Action (HD4A), managed by AcademyHealth, aims to reduce the barriers often faced in accessing data by serving as a bridge between data owners and interested researchers. RWJF is now accepting submissions for the HD4A Call for Proposals (CFP) through August 18, 2023. Through the HD4A CFP, RWJF will make valuable data from unique data owners available to researchers. Learn more about the HD4A CFP here.

To assist with the application process, RWJF and AcademyHealth encouraged CFP applicants to attend an applicant information webinar, hosted by AcademyHealth staff. Please note that specific questions about the available data or participating data providers was not answered during the applicant webinar. Applicants are encouraged to review the material provided in the CFP before reaching out to the data provider contacts provided within the CFP.
