The CHOICES team is now accepting applications from state, city
and county health agencies to partner together to examine the cost
effectiveness of selected childhood obesity initiatives. The expected
impact of this partnership will be to engage decision makers and promote
discussion and action to ensure that more of our scarce local, state and
national public health resources are directed towards more cost-effective
interventions.
Local health agencies representing one of the following three
geographic areas are eligible to apply:
- States
- Large Cities (with populations of 500,000 or more)
- Large Counties (with populations of 1 million or more)
The partnership will run from July 2017 to June 2018, and the
CHOICES team intends to fund up to four health agencies during this 12-month
project period. Monetary assistance will be available (contingent upon
funding) at an expected average of $50,000 per awardee. Note that the
size of the award may vary based on project scope and awardees.
