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.
This call for proposals (CFP) is for two types of awards aimed at providing advocates, decision-makers, and policy-makers with evidence to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic. The award types are: Round 8 grants and RWJF
New Connections grants awarded through the
Healthy Eating Research program.
Approximately $1.6 million will be awarded under this CFP for the two award types.
Round 8 Grants
- The Round 8 grants represent the majority of RWJF's investment in research through this program.
- Approximately $1.4 million will be awarded through Round 8. Each grant will award up to $170,000 for a maximum funding period of 18 months.
- There are three deadlines for receipt of concept papers: February 13, 2013, April 24, 2013, and July 10, 2013 (all by 3 p.m. ET).
RWJF New Connections Grants Awarded Through
Healthy Eating Research
- These grants are to support policy-relevant research of early-career investigators from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities, including researchers from ethnic or racial minority or lower-income communities, first-generation
college graduates, or others who historically have been disadvantaged and underrepresented in research disciplines supported by RWJF. For the purpose of this CFP, only new investigators, defined as individuals who received their doctorate or terminal degree
within 10 years prior to the award date for the grant (after November 1, 2003) are eligible to apply.
- Up to two RWJF New Connections grants will be awarded through the
Healthy Eating Research program in this round of funding. Awards will be for 12- to 18-month grants of up to $100,000 each.
- Deadline for receipt of concept papers: March 27, 2013 (3 p.m. ET).
