Research Hubs
In addition to funding investigator-initiated grants through its calls for proposals, Policies for Action (P4A) collaborates with Research Hubs led by universities and nonprofit research and community organizations across the country. The Hubs provide a transdisciplinary setting to develop, implement, and manage a program of strategic policy research to explore how policies, laws, and regulations can decrease racial and other health inequities.
P4A's Hubs conduct research within specific issue areas, such as housing, transportation, and financing, and provide strategic support for the program and its grantees. They bring valuable expertise and experience conducting critical policy research at the local, state, and national levels.
