<div><b>Agency</b></div>
<div>Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)</div>
<div> </div>
<div><b>Description</b></div>
<div>Interdisciplinary Research Leaders (IRL) is a three-year national leadership development program that aims to foster and support new interdisciplinary, action-oriented research collaborations. Achieving health equity—especially for communities of color,
those in low socioeconomic positions, and Native populations—is a core value of the program. The aim for the 2021 IRL program is to generate high-quality, community-engaged research useful for dismantling structural racism and improving health and health equity.
Structural racism is manifested in policies, practices, and programs in ways that segregate populations based on race and ethnicity, and create barriers to social opportunity and upward mobility. There is an urgent need to identify solutions for eliminating
and reversing the devastating effects of structural racism.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For the 2021 cohort, we will select up to 15 teams of <b>three midcareer individuals each (two researchers and a community partner</b>) from diverse disciplinary backgrounds or scientific perspectives.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Applicants are strongly encouraged to propose scientific research that reveals actionable solutions for improving the health of populations through public or private sector policy and/or programs. Achieving health equity—especially for communities of color;
those in low socioeconomic positions; and Native populations—is a core value of the program. To support these objectives, IRL prioritizes credible action-oriented research. The overall theme for the 2021 IRL CFA is
<b><u>structural racism and health</u></b>. Applicants should focus on one of the two subthemes: 1) Structural racism in health care; 2) Structural racism and community health and well-being.</div>
