(FOA)-Healthy
Eating Research; July 31, 2019
Agency
Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation
Description
To
fund research that advances health equity and sheds light on the drivers of
inequities related to nutritional disparities, dietary quality and patterns, and
food security. Healthy Eating Research is particularly interested in policy,
systems, and environmental change (PSE) strategies that impact families, early
care environments, and communities at a population-level. Grants should aim to
provide advocates, decision-makers, and policymakers with the evidence needed
to address the key social determinants of health and inequalities that underlie
poor dietary patterns and related health consequences. Studies must focus on
young children ages 0-8 and their families, including pregnant women. All
studies must have the potential to impact groups at highest risk for poor
health and well-being and nutrition-related disparities. Studies focusing on
low-income children, children of color, and children living in low-resourced
high need communities, where access to resources that support healthy dietary
patterns is limited will be prioritized. The purpose of this announcement is to
support actionable research that advances health equity in the areas of
nutritional disparities, nutrition, and food security.
