Active Living Research and Healthy Eating Research Rapid-Response Grants Call for Proposals Released
Active Living Research and Healthy Eating Research Rapid-Response Grants
Letter of Intent Deadline: Open

Active Living Research and Healthy Eating Research are national programs of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) that support research to identify promising policy and environmental strategies for increasing physical activity, promoting healthy eating and preventing obesity.

This call for proposals (CFP) supports 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 equation­on physical activity (including sedentary behavior), healthy eating or both.

Studies funded under this CFP are expected to advance RWJF’s efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015. More details and how to apply.

Funding Alert: Active Living Research and Healthy Eating Research Rapid-response grants
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has posted a call for proposals (CFP) in the Childhood Obesity program 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 rise in childhood obesity.

The objective of this CFP for rapid-response grants is to support time-sensitive, opportunistic studies that can 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. All studies funded under this CFP are expected to inform the policy debate on childhood obesity and advance RWJF’s efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015.

Two types of studies are eligible for rapid-response funding:

1. Opportunistic evaluations of imminent changes in policies or environments (i.e., “natural experiments”).

2. Studies that can inform an ongoing or upcoming policy debate ( e.g., small experimental studies, secondary data analyses, cost-effectiveness analyses, health impact assessments, simulations of policy effects or macro-level policy analyses).

Up to $800,000 total will be awarded for rapid-response research grants during the 2008 calendar year. The maximum amount for a single grant is $150,000, with a maximum funding period of 12 months.

Visit the Active Living Research or Healthy Eating Research Web sites for more details about this CFP and information on how to apply, at www.activelivingresearch.org < http://www.activelivingresearch.org/> or www.healthyeatingresearch.org < http://www.healthyeatingresearch.org/

Applications Due: Several Funding Opportunities
RWJF Funding Opportunity Involving QI training
Public health and health care workers have many opportunities to acquire Quality Improvement (QI) training. However, limited evidence exists about whether and how these training programs increase the ability of these individuals to successfully engage in work to improve health and health care. Information about the impact of such programs on organizational culture and patient outcomes is also scarce. This information gap may lead to under-investment in effective QI training opportunities and over-investment in training that is not effective.

This call for proposals (CFP) solicits evaluations of existing QI training programs to produce evidence that will inform decision-making about whether and how to invest in QI training.
