Technical assistance and direction for RWJF's Healthy Eating Research program

For Year 6, HER will carry out a range of activities, including: releasing and managing review processes for the 2010 calls for proposals; overseeing the production and dissemination of targeted commissioned papers, policy analyses, research briefs and syntheses; continuing efforts to connect with policy-makers, advocates and other end-users to define HER research priorities; maintaining and building on collaborative partnerships with other RWJF programs and other funders; and managing ongoing field-building activities, such as the HER 5th Annual Grantee Meeting, grantee working group coordination and technical assistance and ongoing program evaluation activities.
