Deadline:

May 10, 2006 - Closed

Program Area:

Childhood Obesity

Purpose:

Active Living Research is a $12.5 million national program to stimulate and support research that will identify environmental factors and policies that influence physical activity. Findings are expected to inform environmental and policy changes that will promote active living among Americans, both young and old.

This research will help increase our understanding of the relationship of environmental characteristics to physical activity for three priority topics: young people’s use of parks, physical activity in and around buildings, and physical activity in rural areas. Evaluations of community interventions that are part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Active Living by Design program also will be supported. The research funded under this call for proposals will inform the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s efforts to help halt the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity by 2015.
