RWJF awards most of its grants through calls for proposals. By issuing calls for proposals (CFPs) and awarding grants on a competitive basis, the Foundation:

• sparks new and promising ideas from the field.
• invites a diverse range of approaches and applicants to a single issue, problem or idea.
• evaluates whether ideas that work in one setting will work in many different ones.
• brings together coalitions of people and groups to act on a problem or issue.
• compares many applications for the same purpose at the same time.

Each CFP contains:

• the program's purpose, background, intent and design, as well as grant requirements.
• eligibility and selection criteria.
• total dollars and number of grants.
• matching fund requirements (if applicable).
• how funds may be used.
• deadlines and key dates.
• how to apply.

Most of the program areas issue Calls for Proposals throughout the year:

• Building Human Capital
• Childhood Obesity
• Health Insurance Coverage
• Pioneer
• Public Health
• Quality/Equality
• Vulnerable Populations
