The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Healthy Eating Research and Active Living Research programs have released a joint Rapid-Response Round 2 call for proposals (CFP). This CFP supports time-sensitive, opportunistic studies to evaluate changes in policies or environments with the potential to reach children who are at highest risk for obesity. Target populations include African-American, Latino, Native American, Asian-American and Pacific Islander children and adolescents (ages 3 to 18) who live in low-income communities or in areas with limited access to affordable healthy foods and/or safe opportunities for physical activity. Research studies may focus on one or both sides of the energy balance equation—on physical activity (including sedentary behavior), healthy eating or both.
