The Domestic Public Policy Program supports projects that will help the public and policy makers understand and address critical challenges facing the United States. To that end, the Foundation supports research on and evaluation of existing public policies and programs, as well as projects that inject new ideas into public debates. The Foundation has developed a number of grant making portfolios.

1. A group of grants suppored by the Fondation is focused on the challenges of identifying mechanisms that can inform thinking on fiscal practices at the national, state, and municipal levels.
2. In terms of human capital development, the Foundation supports work to identify how schools can become more productive by, for example, increasing the quality of the teacher workforce or adopting more effective curricula. Because success in the contemporary economy requires individuals to acquire education and training beyond high school, the Foundation is building a portfolio of projects on post-secondary education.
3. The Foundation supports work on the criminal justice system that will examine whether costs can be lowered while still protecting public safety.

R21 proposals are due three times a year: February 16, June 16, and October 16 through February 16, 2022.

This FOA invites research grant applications that will identify, develop, test, evaluate, and/or refine strategies to disseminate and implement evidence-based practices (e.g. behavioral interventions; prevention, early detection, diagnostic, treatment and disease management interventions; quality improvement programs) into public health, clinical practice, and community (e.g., workplace, school, place of worship) settings. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support innovative approaches to identifying, understanding, and developing strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, tools, policies, and guidelines. Conversely, there is a benefit in understanding circumstances that create a need to stop or reduce (“de-implement”) the use of interventions that are ineffective, unproven, low-value, or harmful. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged.

This FOA funds  "dissemination research" and "implementation research".

Dissemination research is defined as the scientific study of targeted distribution of information and intervention materials to a specific public health or clinical practice audience. The intent is to understand how best to communicate and integrate knowledge and the associated evidence-based interventions.

Implementation research is defined as the scientific study of the use of strategies to adopt and integrate evidence-based health interventions into clinical and community settings to improve individual outcomes and benefit population health.

The Aligning Systems for Health program seeks to strengthen the evidence base around conditions that foster cross‐sector alignment and translates these insights for communities, researchers, and decision makers to support on‐the‐ground efforts aimed at greater system alignment. The Aligning Systems for Health program is ran by the Georgia Health Policy Center and is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. GHPC is supporting a rolling submission process for a third call for rapid‐cycle research and evaluation projects that examine cross‐sector alignment efforts already underway. In this round, GHPC is particularly interested in research projects that explore how cross‐sector alignment and its constructs might be measured, including examination of the following research questions:

(Emphasis will be placed on rapid translation of findings to the field. Comparative analyses are encouraged.)

• How are collaboratives and partner organizations engaging community members in the course of measuring collaborative processes and outcomes?
• To what degree does the inclusion of community voices in process and outcome measurement prepare systems to be more accountable for people’s and communities’ goals and needs?
• How are cross‐sector alignment processes and outcomes measured in fast‐changing times, when technical details are often pushed aside? What affects whether or not cross‐sector alignment processes and outcomes are measured at all?
• How are collaboratives deciding on process and outcome measures and measurement strategies? How are these process and outcome measures and measurement strategies linked to other data and data systems being used by their organizations?
• How are multisite collaboratives encouraging the uptake of process and outcome measurement tools across sites?
• What has been learned from the use of standardized or publicly available process and outcome measures, and how have such measures been used (or how could they be used) to make comparative assessments either within collaboratives or individual sites or across sites?
• What has been learned from the creation and use of custom process and outcome measures developed within collaboratives or specific sites? How might similar measurement approaches be useful for other collaboratives?
• How have efforts to center equity within collaboratives or partner organizations been measured? What are the results, and why?

The program supports research addressing learning in individuals and in groups, across a wide range of domains at one or more levels of analysis including: molecular/cellular mechanisms; brain systems; cognitive, affective, and behavioral processes; and social/cultural influences. There is special interest in collaborative and collective models of learning and/or intelligence that are supported by the unprecedented speed and scale of technological connectivity. This includes emphasis on how people and technology working together in new ways and at scale can achieve more than either can attain alone. The program also seeks explanations for how the emergent intelligence of groups, organizations, and networks intersects with processes of learning, behavior and cognition in individuals. Examples of general research questions within scope of Science of Learning and Augmented Intelligence (SL) include:

• How can we integrate research findings and insights across levels of analysis, relating understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms of learning in the neurons to circuit and systems-level computations of learning in the brain, to cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral processes of learning?
• What is the relationship between assembly of new networks (development) and learning new knowledge in a maturing/mature brain?

Investigating the complex interactions between coastal processes, human dynamics, and the built environment requires a focused investment in novel,multidisciplinary science that engages a diverse group of local stakeholders. The goal of this program is to support Coastal Research Hubs, structuredusing a convergent science approach, at the nexus of coastal sustainability, human dimensions, and coastal processes to transform understanding ofinteractions among natural, human-built, and social systems in populated coastal environments. Research Hubs will address issues operating at multiplescales and link science, stakeholder engagement, and education into developing pathways to sustainability in changing coastal environments.

Successful research framework responsive to this solicitation brings together researchers from multiple disciplines, cutting across naturaland/or engineering and/or social and behavioral sciences, to study the dynamic Earth Systems processes and vulnerabilities across varying spatial andtemporal scales. The complex interface between coastal processes/hazards and people requires strong partnerships between the research team andrelevant stakeholders. Therefore, critical sectors of the global coastal economy, e.g., tourism, construction, fisheries, and national security, must beproactively engaged in the development of novel research approaches to advance coastal zone science that inform sound management and conservationefforts for long-term resiliency. Through these partnerships, coastal vulnerabilities can be addressed through research that informs a variety of practicalactions including planning and adaptation promoting resilience; active mitigation of impacts prior to, and after, events; and by accounting for predictableslowly occurring processes at longer temporal and spatial scales.

This initiative will support observational or intervention research to understand and address the impact of SRD on minority health and health disparities. Projects must address SRD in one or more NIH-designated populations with health disparities in the US and should address documented disparities in health outcomes. Applications are expected to provide a justification for why the specific types of SRD included constitute SRD, such as how the racism or discrimination is structural rather than reflecting individual-level behavior and how the SRD results in differential treatment or outcomes for less advantaged individuals, groups or populations. Applications are also expected to provide a conceptual model identifying hypothesized pathways between the SRD and health outcomes. Potential health outcomes may reflect health status; health condition-specific or all-cause disability, quality of life, mortality and morbidity; biological measures that reflect cumulative exposures to and effects of SRD; health behaviors; or access to, utilization of, or quality of health care. It is also expected that projects will collect data on SRD beyond individual self-reported perceptions and experiences to include data at organizational, community or societal levels.

Projects are expected to involve collaborations with relevant organizations or groups or stakeholders, such as academic institutions, health service providers and systems, state and local public health agencies or other governmental agencies such as housing and transportation, criminal justice systems, school systems, patient or consumer advocacy groups, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Multidisciplinary research teams, including researchers from areas outside of the health sciences, such as economics, education, history, criminology, law, and political science, are encouraged.

Observational Studies: Projects may (1) examine the impact of SRD on health, and/or (2) evaluate the impact that existing efforts to address SRD (e.g., laws, policies, programs, organizational practices and procedures) have on the health of individuals, families, and communities. Projects may involve collection of primary data/and or analysis of existing data and may involve quantitative or mixed methods approaches. Projects must be exclusively domestic, including U.S. territories. Projects using longitudinal designs or multiple sites are strongly encouraged, as are projects examining resilience in the face of exposure to SRD.

Intervention Studies: Projects may focus on health promotion, treatment, and/or prevention. Interventions may focus primarily on addressing SRD to improve health outcomes, or SRD may be included as one of several determinants of health addressed to improve health outcomes. For both types of intervention approaches, interventions must directly address the cause or source of SRD, not just help individuals or populations to cope with SRD. To this end, it is expected that investigators will collaborate with leadership from organizations, agencies, or programs where the SRD is originating from or being sustained (e.g., a project addressing SRD in the workplace should involve organizational leaders, human resource managers, or other relevant personnel involved in establishing, maintaining, or enforcing workplace policies and practices rather than only involving employees within a workplace). It is also expected that interventions will involve other relevant personnel or individuals within the setting (e.g., teachers, clinicians, co-workers, bystanders) as appropriate to enact changes to SRD, not just those who are directly experiencing SRD.

A pre-application technical assistance webinar is scheduled for May 26, 2021: See Notice NOT-MD-21-018.
