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 groups at highest risk for obesity: Black, Latino, American Indian,
Asian/Pacific Islander children, and children who live in lower-income
communities. Findings are expected to advance RWJF’s efforts to reverse the
childhood obesity epidemic and help all children achieve a healthy weight.
The Healthy Eating
Research Special Solicitation call for proposals (CFP) is now open. This CFP
focuses on childhood obesity prevention efforts in two settings:
- Healthy Food Retail
- Early Care and Education
How To Apply: There are two stages in the application
process, including an initial concept paper and a subsequent full proposal (if
invited). Applicants must follow the instructions and use the templates
provided in the RWJF online system.
The deadline for receipt of concept papers is
January 7, 2015 (2 pm).

environments. The three states profiled in these case studies are at the
