Nominations Invited for Robert Wood Johnson Community Health Leadership Program
Deadline: September 22, 2006 (Letters of Intent)

The Robert Wood Johnson Community Health Leadership Program (<a href="http://www.communityhealthleaders.org/">http://www.communityhealthleaders.org/</a>) honors outstanding individuals who overcome daunting odds to expand access to health care and social services to underserved and isolated populations in communities across the United States. The program’s goal is to elevate the work of its leaders through financial support, opportunities for growth and networking, and assistance raising awareness of their contributions. CHLP is based in Boston at Third Sector New England (<a href="http://www.tsne.org/">http://www.tsne.org/</a>) and is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (<a href="http://www.rwjf.org/">http://www.rwjf.org/</a>). The program honors ten outstanding individuals each year for their work in creating or enhancing healthcare programs serving communities whose needs have been ignored and unmet. Candidates should be working at the grassroots level, have received no significant national recognition, and be in "mid-career," with no less than five and no more than fifteen years of community health experience. Each leader receives $120,000 to be used for personal and program enhancement over a period of up to three years. CHLP welcomes nominations from consumers, community leaders, health professionals, government officials, and others who have been personally inspired by people providing essential community health services. Nominations from development and public relations departments or professional grant writers cannot be accepted. Complete program information and nomination procedures are available at the CHLP Web site.
