Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Seeks Proposals for Active Living Research Program
Deadline: December 1, 2004

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (<a href="http://rwjf.org/">http://rwjf.org/</a>) is engaged in multiple strategies to promote healthier communities and lifestyles and to reduce the growing rate of obesity in the United States. As part of this effort, the foundation seeks proposals for Active Living Research, a $12.5 million national program to stimulate and support research that will identify environmental factors and policies that influence physical activity.

In its fourth round of funding, the program is seeking case studies of community efforts to change environments or policies that are relevant for active living. Proposals must address either: 1) the policy change process, or 2) policy innovations. Proposals should demonstrate the ability to produce clear, systematic studies that will inform policy makers about promising approaches to making environmental and policy changes that increase physical activity in the U.S.

A total of up to $500,000 is available in this funding round: up to $30,000 for single-case studies, and up to $60,000 for multiple-case studies.

Preference may be given to applicants who may be either public entities or nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

All proposals must be submitted through RWJF’s online grantmaking system. See the RWJF Web site for complete program information and submission guidelines.
