Pioneering Ideas: Exploring the Future to Build a Culture of Health seeks proposals that are primed to influence health equity in the future. RWJF is interested in ideas that address any of these four areas of focus: Future of Evidence; Future of Social Interaction; Future of Food; Future of Work. Additionally, they welcomes ideas that might fall outside of these four focus areas, but which offer unique approaches to advancing health equity and their progress toward a Culture of Health.

RWJF wants to hear from scientists, anthropologists, artists, urban planners, community leaders—anyone, anywhere who has a new or unconventional idea that could alter the trajectory of health, and improve health equity and well-being for generations to come. The changes they seek require diverse perspectives and cannot be accomplished by any one person, organization or sector.
