What is Policies for Action?
Policies for Action (P4A) is a signature research program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation administered through the national coordinating center at the Urban Institute.
Founded in 2015, P4A funds research identifying policies, laws, and other system and community levers in the public and private sectors that can support RWJF’s vision to build a Culture of Health in America. Our goal is to generate actionable evidence about how, and how well, laws and policies work to promote population health, well-being, and equity—the data and information that can guide legislators and other policymakers.
