The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is calling for proposals which build the evidence for and strengthen the use of regulatory, legal and policy solutions to improve public health. PHLR is equally interested in identifying and ameliorating laws and legal practices that unintentionally harm health. PHLR’s purpose is to answer important questions, such as: How does law influence health and health behavior? Which laws have the greatest impact? Can current laws be made more effective through better enforcement, or do they require amendment?
Award amounts will be up to $150,000 for no more than 18-month long short-term studies. Up to $1,000,000 will be made available for the awards.
The deadline for proposal submission is July 24,2013.
