Overview
<p>As our current reality underscores, we live in a dynamic world—where unforeseen global events; new technologies; scientific discoveries; changes in our climate, economy, demographics; and more—continually shape where and how we live, learn, work and play. These changes will profoundly impact <a href="https://www.rwjf.org/content/rwjf/en/library/research/2017/05/what-is-h… equity</a> in our society, from our individual health and the health of our families to the health of our communities.</p> <p>What dramatic changes might we see in the next 5 to 15 years? What can we do today to create a better, more equitable tomorrow? </p> <p>We seek to answer these questions, anticipate the future, and support unconventional approaches and breakthrough ideas that can help lead the way to a future where everyone in the United States can live their healthiest life possible.</p> <p><strong>Purpose</strong></p> <div class="proposal_info"> <p>Pioneering Ideas: Exploring the Future to Build a Culture of Health seeks proposals that are primed to influence health equity in the future. We are interested in ideas that address any of these four areas of focus: <strong>Future of Evidence</strong>; <strong>Future of Social Interaction</strong>; <strong>Future of Food</strong>; <strong>Future of Work</strong>. Additionally, we welcome ideas that might fall outside of these four focus areas, but which offer unique approaches to advancing health equity and our progress toward a Culture of Health.</p> <p>We want 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 we seek require diverse perspectives and cannot be accomplished by any one person, organization or sector. </p> <p><i>Please note: While this call for proposals is focused on broader and longer-term societal trends and shifts that were evolving prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, we recognize the unique circumstances and learning created by the COVID-19 pandemic may inform your response. It is at your discretion whether you propose a project related to the pandemic directly or indirectly.</i></p> </div>
