Many RWJF grants are awarded through a network of more than 80 program groups, called national programs. By providing leadership, fostering communication and collaboration and serving as champions of innovation, national programs can help unite distinct efforts into a broader movement that can achieve social change. National programs are typically administered by universities, nonprofit groups or Foundation staff. Below is a list of current national programs.
