American College Health Foundation Seeks Applications for Campus Health Initiatives

The American College Health Foundation, the charitable arm of the American College Health Association, is accepting applications from initiatives that foster positive Healthy Campus 2020 outcomes for the campus community.

ACHA’s Healthy Campus 2020 serves as a framework for improving the health of all students, faculty, and staff on campuses across the country. Strategies recommended in Healthy Campus 2020 guidelines extend beyond traditional interventions. Healthy Campus 2020 resources includes ten-year national objectives for students and faculty/staff, an action model that incorporates an ecological approach, and a toolkit for implementation based on the MAP-IT (mobilize, assess, plan, implement, and track) framework. Priority consideration will be given to proposals that result in sustained mobilization and engagement of campus partners to achieve the goals of Healthy Campus 2020.

Up to two recipients will be awarded grants of $3,000, which will be announced at the 2016 ACHA annual meeting, May 31 – June 4, 2016, in San Francisco.

Only campus health professionals who are American College Health Association individual members or employed at an ACHA member institution are eligible to apply. If an applicant is not an individual member but is employed at a member institution, the institution’s ACHA representative must also sign the application.

Visit the ACHA website for program guidelines and application instructions.

DEADLINE: JANUARY 31, 2016
