Tobacco Policy Change: A Collaborative for Healthier Communities
and States is a national initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation that provides resources and technical assistance
for local, statewide and regional organizations and tribal
groups to advocate for effective tobacco prevention and cessation
policy change. The goals of the program are to:
- Support innovative projects that can change tobacco policy
through partnerships with or collaboration among groups
most affected by tobacco use.
- Maintain tobacco policy gains and momentum in communities,
states and regions.
- Strengthen and diversify the state and national tobacco
policy change infrastructure.
Applicant organizations are required to have significant
experience in policy advocacy; however, prior experience in
tobacco prevention and cessation is not required to be eligible
for RWJF funding.
This is the second round of competitive grant application
cycles under this program. Grants will be 12 months in duration.
Please refer to the call for proposals for eligibility criteria
