About Us: 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. Since 2015, P4A has awarded over $15 million for research identifying policies, laws, and other system and community levers in the public and private sectors that can support RWJF’s vision, working with others, to build a Culture of Health. Along with the other three signature research programs, P4A is helping to explore the root causes of health disparities in America, and identify potential solutions to improve health, equity and well-being.
