Nominations Sought for Robert Wood Johnson Community Health Leadership Program
Deadline: September 22, 2004 (Letters of Intent)

Each year, the Robert Wood Johnson Community Health Leadership Program (<a href="http://communityhealthleaders.org/">http://communityhealthleaders.org/</a>) honors ten outstanding individuals who overcome daunting odds to expand access to healthcare and social services to underserved and isolated populations in communities across the United States. Awardees each receive $120,000 — $105,000 for program support and $15,000 as a personal stipend. CHLP is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in Princeton, New Jersey.

Community-based health providers and advocates in mid-career (five to fifteen years) who have created or significantly improved health programs in local communities where healthcare needs have been ignored and unmet are eligible to be nominated. To be eligible, nominees must be a citizen or permanent resident of the U.S., the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico and must currently be working in their own local community in affiliation with a nonprofit or government agency on a three-quarter to full-time basis.

Nominations are invited 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.

See the CHLP Web site for complete eligibility information, nomination procedures, and a letter of intent form.
