Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Accepting Proposals for Childhood Obesity Prevention Research
Deadline: February 13, 2007
Healthy Eating Research is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation ( http://www.rwjf.org/ ) that 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 are expected to advance the foundation’s efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015. This second round of funding focuses on children’s food environments and policies in selected community settings — preschool, child-care, school and after-school environments, as well as nearby food outlets. http://fconline.fdncenter.org/pnd/10005617/rwjf
