| Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Announces New Routes to Community Health Program for Immigrants A program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, New Routes to Community Health supports local partnerships among immigrant organizations, media production centers, and established community institutions to foster collaborations to improve immigrants' health, work life, and civic participation. Up to eight geographically and ethnically diverse sites will receive awards of as much as $225,000 each over thirty-nine months. Applicants must identify specific local challenges or barriers to improving the health of immigrants and devise a plan to address these issues through locally focused media and community-engagement strategies. Locally based collaborations must include at least one of each of the following: a media production center, an immigrant organization, and a community institution acting as the partnership manager. Partnerships must include the direct involvement of immigrants in designing and implementing the program. Applicants must provide a 30 percent in-kind or cash match of the overall grant amount during the implementation phase of the grant period. All partnering organizations must be based in the United States or its territories. Applicant communities must include established immigrant or refugee populations or be experiencing a rapid growth in the number of new immigrants. All proposals must clearly identify an area of particular concern to a specific immigrant group(s) and their receiving community, and must be focused on improving health outcomes through attention to one or more of the following issues: family, work, cultural competence, or integration.
