RWJF Faculty Seed Grants

With the funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation we were also able to sponsor several generous “seed grants” for exceptional and promise research proposals from Indiana University CRRES faculty affiliates. Our goal with the seed grants was to fund research proposals that centered research on race and health, and with an emphasis on public-facing and community-driven work. Moreover, we were interested in novel interdisciplinary work, leaning into the diverse strengths we have at Indiana University. This was a highly selective process with researchers from across the humanities, social sciences, public health, and policy school applying.

To foster interdisciplinary collaboration, we held a workshop for would-be applicants, which we called the Advancing Racial Health Equity & Healing Justice Research Workshop. All scholars who wished to apply were required to attend. Below we detail this highly successful workshop, as well as the three research teams who received a seed grant.
