At the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation our grants and grant programs generally have three aims:

1. Discover and Explore—Seeking creative solutions through targeted solicitations and an ongoing request for bold ideas with transformative potential.
2. Spread Model Interventions—Identifying and expanding public policies, community-based programs, system changes and other interventions that are having a meaningful impact on health.
3. Conduct Research and Evaluation—Expanding the evidence around key health issues, and evaluating, learning from, and sharing key lessons both from our own grantmaking and from other health-improvement initiatives tied to our areas of interest.

Connected with these objectives, we fund a wide range of activities, including but not limited to:

• Planning and demonstration projects
• Research and evaluations
• Policy and statistical analysis
• Learning networks and communities
• Public education and strategic communications
• Community engagement and coalition-building
• Training and fellowship programs
• Technical assistance
