RWJF Funding Opportunities: Healthy Eating Research
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s (RWJF’s) commitment to reversing the childhood obesity epidemic has provided national leadership in efforts to achieve a healthy weight for all of our nation’s children, especially in lower-income communities and communities of color. This landmark work continues today as part of its vision to build a national Culture of Health that will enable all Americans to live longer and healthier lives, now and for generations to come.
The Foundation has issued a call for proposals for two types of awards aimed at providing advocates, decision-makers, and policymakers with opportune research and evidence to guide policy action in order to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic.
