Active Living Research Call for Proposals Released

For those with an interest in childhood obesity research and interventions, I thought this notice from RWJ would be useful to post...

Active Living Research is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This call for proposals is the first to reflect a new emphasis for Active Living Research. The program will now focus on supporting research to inform policy and environmental strategies for increasing physical activity among children and adolescents, decreasing their sedentary behaviors and preventing obesity. Findings are expected to advance RWJF’s efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015.

RWJF will place special emphasis on strategies with the potential to reach racial/ethnic populations and children living in low-income communities who are at highest risk for obesity. Proposed studies must address one of the topics identified in the call for proposals.
