Healthy Eating Research has issued a number of previous calls for proposals (CFPs). Descriptions of past CFPs and links to grants funded are provided below. Active Living Research and Healthy Eating Research 2009 Rapid-Response Round 2 Grants
The 2009 Rapid-Response Round 2 Grants call for proposals was released in March 2009 by RWJF's Active Living Research and Healthy Eating Research programs as a joint CFP designed to support time-sensitive, opportunistic studies to evaluate changes in policies or environments with the potential to reach children who are at highest risk for obesity. Research studies could focus on one or both sides of the energy balance equation - on physical activity (including sedentary behavior), healthy eating or both.
