Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has put out a call for proposals (CFP) in the Childhood Obesity area. Active Living Research and Healthy Eating Research are national programs of RWJF that support research to identify promising policy and environmental strategies for increasing physical activity, promoting healthy eating, and preventing obesity. The overall aim of both of these programs is to provide key decision- and policy-makers with evidence to guide effective action to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic. The objective of this CFP is to support time-sensitive, opportunistic studies to evaluate changes in policies or environments with the potential to reach children who are at highest risk for obesity, including African-American, Latino, Native American, Asian-American and Pacific Islander children (ages 3 to 18) who live in low-income communities or communities with limited access to affordable healthy foods and/or safe opportunities for physical activity. Research studies may focus on one or both sides of the energy balance equation – on physical activity (including sedentary behavior), healthy eating or both. Visit the Active Living Research or Healthy Eating Research Web sites for more details about this CFP and information on how to apply. Application deadline: Rolling. (posted 3/4/09)
