Healthy Eating Research Releases 2010 Call for Proposals Round 5, Rapid-Response and New Connections

Healthy Eating Research is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). The program supports research on environmental and policy strategies with strong potential to promote healthy eating among children to prevent childhood obesity, especially among lower-income and racial and ethnic populations at highest risk for obesity. Findings are expected to advance RWJF's efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015.

The three types of funding opportunities included in this call for proposals are Round 5 grants, Rapid-Response grants and New Connections grants through Healthy Eating Research.

The broad topics and types of studies that apply to all three types of grants are described in the full call for proposals at www.rwjf.org/cfp/her and on the program Web site at www.healthyeatingresearch.org.

The current proposal closed on May 13, 2010.  For more information please visit www.healthyeatingresearch.org.
