This chapter of the Anthology, written by David C. Colby, currently vice president of Research and Evaluation at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, examines the Foundation's investments in building capacity among social scientists to do health policy analysis. The series of programs analyzed by Colby underscores the Foundation's commitment to building health policy expertise among social science researchers at the nation's academic institutions.
