Nominations Sought for Community Health Leadership Awards

Deadline: September 30, 2002 (Letter of intent)

Each year, the Robert Wood Johnson Community Health Leadership Program (CHLP) honors ten outstanding individuals who have overcome long odds to expand access to health care and social services to underserved and isolated populations in communities across the United States. Each honoree is awarded $120,000 — $105,000 for program support and $15,000 as a personal stipend.

To be eligible, candidates must be in “mid-career,” with at least five and no more than fifteen years of community health experience; working full-time at the grassroots level in their own local community (not on a national or international level); and have not received national recognition. To be eligible, candidates also must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States, Washington D.C., or Puerto Rico.

Nominations are open and can be made by consumers, community health leaders, health professionals, and government officials who have been personally inspired by a nominee.
