Grant Details
The one-time opportunity for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Culture of Health Prize Alumni Storytelling Cohort (“Prize Story Cohort”) is CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS as of Wednesday January 17th 2PM EST.
An important step in building a Culture of Health is sharing stories about what is possible to effectively address structural racism and other forms of discrimination to improve community conditions to advance health equity. Uplifting these concrete stories of progress and solutions can inform people and motivate them to take action to advance health equity.
The RWJF Culture of Health Prize (“Prize”) program launched this one-time Prize Story Cohort open to alumni communities that won the Prize prior to 2023. The Prize Story Cohort engaged individuals from selected communities to expand the reach and influence of storytelling efforts happening in the alumni communities and as part of a national effort supported by RWJF. Selected participants had the opportunity to hone their stories and storytelling skills and then apply them in a variety of settings.
