Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: Active Living Research and Healthy Eating Research Grants
Active Living Research and Healthy Eating Research are national programs that support research to identify promising policy and environmental strategies for increasing physical activity, promoting healthy eating, and preventing obesity. This call for proposals supports time-sensitive, opportunistic studies to evaluate changes in policies or environments with the potential to reach children who are at highest risk for obesity, including African-American, Latino, Native American, Asian-American, and Pacific Islander children (ages 3 to 18) who live in low-income communities or communities with limited access to affordable healthy foods and/or safe opportunities for physical activity. Research studies may focus on one or both sides of the energy balance equation — on physical activity (including sedentary behavior), healthy eating, or both. Maximum award: $150,000. Eligibility: 501(c)3 organizations in the United States whose program, event, or policy change to be studied justify the rapid-review process in order to answer the proposed research questions. Deadline: July 17, 2009, for letter of intent.
