The Award

Start date: For the 2024 cohort, all RWJF awards started November 15.  Partner grants may have different start dates.

Project director: The Scholar may be the project director. In some cases, the institution places restrictions on who may be a project director, for example, allowing only those with faculty appointments to act in that capacity. In that case, the mentor or department chair may be the project director.

Grant ID number: It is important to include your six-digit grant identification number on all correspondence with RWJF. Although the NPO tracks Scholars by name, the RWJF has vast numbers of grants, and uses ID numbers.

Award letters: Award letters are generally sent out approximately two weeks before the beginning of a grant.

Leave of absence: Leaves may be granted, on a case-by-case basis, for situations such as the birth of a child, relocation, extended illness, or professional opportunities. Please call the NPO to discuss options.
