This call for proposals is closed. Access the latest CFP for the Active Living Research and New Connections Grant Opportunities program.

Deadline:

May 16, 2007 - Closed

Program Area:

Childhood Obesity

Purpose:

Dissertation awards are a priority for Active Living Research, because they both help build the evidence base and increase the number of investigators in this new field of study. Doctoral candidates in any field or discipline may request up to $25,000 total for up to two years as support for their doctoral dissertations. Projects must have clear relevance to the overall mission of Active Living Research, and preference will be given to proposals that are relevant to preventing childhood obesity. However, projects do not have to address the specific topics in this call for proposals.

Only full proposals will be accepted. Dissertation full proposals will be accepted until May 16, 2007 (1 p.m. PDT). Detailed information and application guidelines are posted at www.activelivingresearch.org.
