Temple University Center for Public Health Law Research Health Law Policy

Public Health Law Research (PHLR) program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation will be opening its fifth call for proposals (CFP) in early June. Short-term studies are no more than 18 months long, and will be funded up to $150,000 each. Applicants are expected to submit a detailed proposal of no more than 23 pages.

As with past CFPs, PHLR will look favorably on multidisciplinary teams that seek to investigate laws broadly impacting public health.

More information about the call is available on PHLR’s website, and more detailed instructions outlining the proposal elements, selection criteria and eligibility criteria will be released in June.

Temple University Center for Public Health Law Research

Based at the Temple University Beasley School of Law, the Center for Public Health Law Research supports the widespread adoption of scientific tools and methods for mapping and evaluating the impact of law on health. It works by developing and teaching public health law research and legal epidemiology methods (including legal mapping and policy surveillance); researching laws and policies that improve health, increase access to care, and create or remove barriers to health (e.g., laws or policies that create or remove inequity); and communicating and disseminating evidence to facilitate innovation.
