  1. What is a national program? Where can I find a list of all national program offices? (Answer last updated on Apr 21, 2009)

    A national program consists of a cluster of grantees and other interested parties that work together to create impact in one of the Foundation's program areas. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation currently supports more than 85 national programs. You can review a list of national programs or learn more about the operations of a national program.

  2. What is required for a national program office to report to RWJF? (Answer last updated on Apr 21, 2009)

    National program offices should refer to NPONet (log in required) for complete national program reporting instructions. If you are a national program office of the Foundation and do not have access to NPONet, please contact us to request access.

    If you are the grantee of an RWJF national program, please complete the same Annual Narrative Report, Final Narrative Report and Budget Information reporting as other grantees.

       

  3. Are there guidelines for announcing the receipt of my RWJF grant? (Answer last updated on Apr 21, 2009)

    News releases announcing the receipt of your RWJF grant and/or grant renewal require advance approval from the Foundation. Announcement guidelines are included in your grant award letter. If you have questions, please contact the communications officer for your grant.

  4. Can RWJF funds be used for lobbying or political campaign activity? (Answer last updated on Apr 21, 2009)

    RWJF grant funds cannot be used to fund lobbying or political campaign activities. Both of these activities are prohibited by the legal agreements established between the Foundation and the grantee at the beginning of the grant. Sometimes grantees ask if they may lobby with non-RWJF funds. Grantees are free to carry on whatever activities they are otherwise permitted to conduct with other sources of support.

  5. What is a Grant Results report? (Answer last updated on Apr 21, 2009)

    The Foundation's Grant Results Reporting Unit engages writers to produce short reports on the majority of the Foundation's recently completed projects and longer reports on national programs as they are coming to a close. When a report is being planned for your program, you will participate with the RWJF program officer and a special program officer from Grant Results Reporting in discussions about themes, which sites to feature, and other matters involved in shaping the report. A writer hired by the unit will probably attend the program’s final meeting. You will be given an opportunity to review the report for accuracy before it is posted on RWJF’s Web site. Please refer to Grant Results for additional information.
