RWJF Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks Program Grants
Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) that supports the development of research networks for studying the reach, effectiveness, efficiency and equity of public health practice. A practice-based research network (PBRN) brings multiple public health agencies together to design and implement studies in real-world practice settings. Findings will advance RWJF’s efforts to enhance the evidence base for public health policy and practice.
