Healthy Eating Research is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The program supports research on environmental and policy strategies to promote healthy eating among children to prevent childhood obesity, especially among low-income and racial/ethnic populations at highest risk for obesity. Findings will advance the Foundation¹s efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015. The CFPs described below focus on the following four targeted topic areas: 1. Food pricing and economic approaches; 2. Food and beverage marketing and promotion; 3. Improving access to affordable healthy foods in low-income communities; and 4. Evaluations of other promising food-related policy and environmental strategies. Healthy Eating Research Round 3 Application Deadline: February 6, 2008 (3 p.m. ET) Approximately $3.5 million will be awarded for two types of research grants focused in the four areas listed above: Small- and large-scale studies: * 12- to 18-month awards up to $150,000 each. * 18- to 36-month awards up to $400,000 each. Macro-level analyses: * 12- to 18-month awards up to $100,000 each. Healthy Eating Research Special Solicitation Round 2 Application Deadline: February 6, 2008 (3 p.m. ET) The Special Solicitation is a funding opportunity from RWJF for New Connections grants through the Healthy Eating Research program. New Connections grants are for junior investigators from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities who have completed their doctorate or terminal degree within the last seven years (after September 1, 2001). These grants are for individuals who are in the early stages of an independent research career. A total of up to three grants will be awarded. There are two categories of funding focused on the four areas listed above: Small-scale studies: * 12- to 24-month awards of up to $100,000. Macro-level analyses: * 12- to 24-month awards of up to $75,000.
