The grants are being offered though Healthy Eating Research, a national RWJF program committed to understanding what’s working — and what’s hindering progress — in all types of communities.
To be considered, studies should focus on one of the following four areas: ensuring all children entering kindergarten are at a healthy weight; ensuring schools consistently offer students healthy foods and beverages; making healthy foods and beverages the affordable and accessible choices in all communities; and eliminating the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages among kids under five years old.
This year, one-third of the grant money is being earmarked for studies that focus on rural communities, including the Appalachian region, and populations of Asian/Pacific Islanders or American Indians.
