The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation invites applications for its 2023 Health Equity Scholars for Action program.

According to RWJF, structural racism and discrimination have created obstacles for many qualified individuals when starting or advancing an academic career. The Health Equity Scholars for Action (HES4A) program aims to enhance the support, resources, and community necessary for participants with historically underrepresented backgrounds (HURs) to thrive professionally and personally.

Grants will be awarded to address the challenges that HURs typically experience and help them overcome obstacles to earning tenure. To be eligible, applicants must be from a systematically marginalized group that has historically been underrepresented in research disciplines; must have completed a terminal degree within the last five years; be a junior faculty member in an accredited school in the United States or its territories, with a fulltime academic position that could lead to tenure, or a postdoctoral fellow poised to be in such a position by the start of the grant; and have a home institution that agrees to administer the grant.

Letters of intent are due May 31 at 3 p.m.
