Our Approach to Program Results

Program Results describe RWJF’s interest in the area and strategy for addressing the problem for those working in the field or interested in undertaking similar efforts. They explain the problem addressed; the activities undertaken; the results or findings from the work; lessons for the field; any post-grant activities—by the grantee or RWJF—and they include a bibliography of material produced during the project or program.
