FUNDING-Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation – Healthy Eating Research: Building Evidence to Promote
Health and Well-Being Among Children Through
Nutritious Foods and Beverages; July 18, 2018
Description
The
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is focused on policy, systems, and
environmental change (PSE) strategies that support parents’ and caregivers’
ability to provide environments that nurture and foster children’s physical,
socioemotional, and cognitive health and well-being. In the area of food and
nutrition, RWJF is particularly interested in PSE strategies that impact
families, early care environments, schools, and communities at a
population-level. Research studies must focus on PSE approaches with strong
potential to improve children’s physical, socioemotional, and/or cognitive
health and well-being through nutritious foods and beverages. Proposals will
need to make clear connections between the study’s PSE strategies of interest
and specific indicators of child health and well-being.
All
studies must have the potential to impact groups at highest risk for poor
health and well-being, and nutrition and weight-related health disparities. We
are especially interested in studies focused on black or African American,
Latino(a) or Hispanic, American Indian or Alaskan
Native, Asian American, and native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander populations; and
children living in lower-income rural and urban communities, with the aim of
promoting equity. Target age groups are infants, children, and adolescents
(ages 0 to 18) and their families.
