Funding Alert: Active Living Research and Healthy Eating Research Rapid-response grants
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has posted a call for proposals
(CFP) in the Childhood Obesity program area. Active Living Research and
Healthy Eating Research are national programs of RWJF that support
research to identify promising policy and environmental strategies for
increasing physical activity, promoting healthy eating and preventing
obesity. The overall aim of both of these programs is to provide key
decision- and policy-makers with evidence to guide effective action to
reverse the rise in childhood obesity.
The objective of this CFP for rapid-response grants is to support
time-sensitive, opportunistic studies that can evaluate changes in
policies or environments with the potential to reach children who are at
highest risk for obesity, including African-American, Latino, Native
American, Asian American, and Pacific Islander children (ages 3 to 18)
who live in low-income communities or communities with limited access to
affordable healthy foods and/or safe opportunities for physical activity.
All studies funded under this CFP are expected to inform the policy
debate on childhood obesity and advance RWJF’s efforts to reverse the
childhood obesity epidemic by 2015.
Two types of studies are eligible for rapid-response funding:
1. Opportunistic evaluations of imminent changes in policies or
environments (i.e., “natural experiments”).
2. Studies that can inform an ongoing or upcoming policy debate ( e.g.,
small experimental studies, secondary data analyses, cost-effectiveness
analyses, health impact assessments, simulations of policy effects or
macro-level policy analyses).
Up to $800,000 total will be awarded for rapid-response research grants
during the 2008 calendar year. The maximum amount for a single grant is
$150,000, with a maximum funding period of 12 months.

Applications Due: Several Funding Opportunities
RWJF Funding Opportunity Involving QI training
Public health and health care workers have many opportunities to acquire Quality Improvement (QI) training. However, limited evidence exists about whether and how these training programs increase the ability of these individuals to successfully engage in work to improve health and health care. Information about the impact of such programs on organizational culture and patient outcomes is also scarce. This information gap may lead to under-investment in effective QI training opportunities and over-investment in training that is not effective.
This call for proposals (CFP) solicits evaluations of existing QI training programs to produce evidence that will inform decision-making about whether and how to invest in QI training.

Community-Based Abstinence Education Project Grants (CBAE)
Application deadline: June 2, 2008
The CBAE program supports programs that are designed to promote
abstinence-until-marriage education for adolescents aged 12 through 18.
The entire focus of these programs is to educate young people and create
an environment within communities that supports teen decisions to
postpone sexual activity until marriage. Since communicating abstinence
education to various target populations requires a number of different
approaches, activities may include adult and peer mentoring, before and
after school programs, and parent education groups to promote abstinence
from sexual activity until marriage.
CVS Caremark Charitable Trust
Application deadline: June 15, 2008
The CVS Caremark Charitable Trust focuses primarily on supporting
charitable organizations that are making a difference in the lives of
children with disabilities. Resources are also allocated to help support
organizations focused on providing healthcare to the uninsured. We
believe these two areas represent opportunities for the Trust to create
positive outcomes for diverse populations of people in communities across
the country.
Environmental Justice Small Grants Program
Application deadline: June 30, 2008
The purpose of this grant program is to support and empower
communities that are working on local solutions to local environmental
and/or public health issues. The EJSG Program is designed to assist
recipients in building collaborative partnerships that will help them
understand and address the environmental and/or public health issues in
their communities. Successful collaborative partnerships with other
stakeholders involve well-designed strategic plans to build, maintain and
sustain the partnerships, and to work towards addressing the local
environmental and/or public health issues.

SAMHSA funding opportunity
SAMHSA Accepting Applications for Grants for Mental Health Programs
Specially Geared to Servicing the Mental Health Needs of Older Americans
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
is soliciting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2008 Older American
Targeted Capacity Expansion (TCE) grants. The Older American TCE grants
help communities provide mental health services that meet the diverse
needs of older persons (aged 60 years and older).
Grantees can pursue an array of efforts for building and sustaining
effective mental health outreach, treatment and recovery services for
this age group in their communities. Under the terms of the Older
American TCE program at least 25 percent of the grant funding should be
devoted to providing direct services to older persons and another 25
percent should be applied toward building the mental health
infrastructure developed for helping that age group.
The program promotes the development and use of evidence-based practices
- prevention, treatment and recovery approaches that have been shown to
be effective through some form of documented scientific evidence. Thus
all grantees are required to collect and report certain data regarding
the scope, nature and efficacy of the mental health service they
provided.
It is expected that $4.15 million will be available to fund up to 10
grants. Grant awards may not exceed $415,400 per year for up to three
years. The actual award amounts may vary, depending on the availability
of funds. The grants will be awarded by SAMHSA's Center for Mental
Health Services.
WHO CAN APPLY: Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit
entities providing mental health services (e.g., states, local and
tribal government agencies, private or public universities, faith-based
organizations, and other appropriately credentialed mental health
organizations with at least two years of experience in providing
relevant services. Only applicants who have not received an Older Adults
TCE grant in the past will be considered.
HOW TO APPLY: Applications for No. SM-08-008 are available by calling
SAMHSA's Information Line at 1-877-SAMHSA7 [TDD: 1 800-487-4889] or by

2008 InHealth Proposals
InHealth seeks innovative research proposals that assess the impact of diagnostics and medical devices on patient outcomes (such as mortality, morbidity, disability, and cost) and/or on patient’s and their family’s socio-economic functionality (such as ability to work, dependence on or independence from supportive care, and quality of life). Our first round of commissioned research focused on devices and diagnostics such as implantable defibrillators, drug-eluting stents, total knee and hip arthroscopies, MR and CT scans, and “cooling caps” in neonatal care, among others. We now seek additional proposals for re-search on the impact of other diagnostic techniques and devices.
InHealth welcomes proposals on a variety of topics spanning the full range of medical de-vices and diagnostics. Particularly, research is needed into the impact of technologies asso-ciated with diseases and chronic medical conditions that generate large costs in the U.S. health care system. An estimated 133 million Americans lived with a chronic medi-cal condition in 2005, and the number is expected to increase to 157 million by 2020. In-deed, some 68 percent of Medicare spending is for people with five or more chronic condi-tions.1 Thus, InHealth will pay particular attention to analyses that measure the effects of medical devices on those with chronic medical conditions that have a high prevalence in the population, including but not limited to diabetes.
Proposals that bring innovative research methodologies – be they new analytical tech-niques or current methods applied to new areas of analysis – to assessing the value of health technologies will also be given serious consideration. Such research models may include broader patient and family perspectives of how a technology impacts their lives and liveli-hoods. The current standards of measurement, the Quality Adjusted Life Year and the Dis-ability Adjusted Life year, are powerful but limited instruments.
Within this framework, promising proposals that address research into the social, economic and clinical impacts of in-vitro diagnostic and chronic wound prevention and treatment technologies will also be given extra consideration.

NRHA Now Accepting Proposals for the Cardinal Health Foundation's Challenge Grants
(Alexandria, VA) - Today, the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) announced a request for proposals for the Cardinal Health Foundation's Challenge Grants. The foundation is offering up to $500,000 in grant funds to help increase the number of rural and public hospitals participating in the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's (IHI) 5 Million Lives Campaign. This program will be administered with the assistance of the NRHA and the National Association of Public Hospitals (NAPH). Both groups will oversee the application process and provide an initial review of grant applications. Hospitals will be eligible to receive up to $15,000 each to help defray costs associated with implementing Campaign Initiatives aimed at protecting patients from five million incidents of medical harm over two years (December 2006-December 2008).
To be eligible for the grants, hospitals must not yet be enrolled in the IHI Campaign. In addition, applicants must agree to actively support the campaign which includes submitting hospital profile and mortality data to the IHI on a timely basis, participating on relevant campaign calls, and sharing experiences, ideas and outcomes with peers and the larger group of Campaign participants. The 5 Million Lives Campaign encourages hospitals to rapidly adopt evidence-based care processes with the potential to prevent 5 million incidents of medical harm over a 24-month period. IHI hopes to enroll 4,000 hospitals in this Campaign. There is no cost for hospitals to join, but there is an obligation to adopt at least one intervention. Hospitals also are expected to submit monthly mortality data to assist in tracking overall harm reduction during the initiative. This campaign builds on the success of the 100,000 Lives Campaign, which involved 3,100 hospitals that worked to improve patient safety and reduce inpatient deaths.
Interested hospitals, especially rural hospitals that have not yet enrolled in the 5 Million Lives Campaign, are encouraged to apply for these grants by completing the forms that can be downloaded at the following link:
http://NRHArural.org/groups/pdf/CHFGrantRFP-2.pdf

Grants are expected to be approved and awarded by early October. The deadline for submitting applications to the NRHA is August 30, 2007. Applications may be mailed or faxed to Amy Elizondo at the address and fax number included in the application.

The grant program described in this document, the Rural Health Network Development (RHND) Grant Program, is authorized
under Section 330A(f) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
Number for this grant program is 93.912. Under the law, Rural Health Network Development Grants and Rural Health Network
Development Planning Grants, share the same legislative purpose to "...expand access to, coordinate, and improve the
quality of essential health care services, and enhance the delivery of health care, in rural areas.”
Given these similarities, the two programs are different in several important respects. Applicants interested in
responding to this announcement for Rural Health Network Development Grants should consider the differences and decide
whether their project is best suited for the Network Development Grant Program or the Network Development Planning Grant
Program.
Subject to the availability of appropriated funds, ORHP anticipates that approximately $5,400,000 will be available to fund up to 30 new awards for the RHND Grant Program in fiscal year (FY) 2008. Individual grant awards are limited to a maximum of $180,000 (direct and indirect costs) per year, or $540,000 over three years. Applicants may propose project periods up to a maximum of three years. In the application, applicants must request funding for all years of funding that will be necessary to complete the activities of the proposed network in the original application. Changes to the original amounts requested and approved will not be allowed. Continued funding of the network beyond the first year of an award is subject to the availability of appropriated funds, satisfactory performance by the grantee, and a determination that continued funding is in the best interest of the government. Performance will be evaluated via a non-competing continuation grant application process.

The Bikes Belong Grants Program funds projects in three categories: facility, education, and capacity building. For the facility and education categories, Bikes Belong will accept applications from nonprofit organizations and from public agencies and departments at the national, state, regional, and local levels. For the capacity-building category, Bikes Belong will only fund organizations whose mission is expressly related to bicycle advocacy.
Funding Amount: Applicants can request up to $10,000. In very limited cases, Bikes Belong will consider amounts over $10,000. Requests of over $10,000 will generally be viewed unfavorably unless the applicant has an extremely compelling case with a proposal of unique and/or national importance.

Robert Wood Johnson program
Purpose
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars program
is designed to build the nations capacity for research, leadership and policy change
to address the broad range of factors that affect health. The program is based on the
principle that progress in the field of population health depends upon collaboration
and exchange among the social, behavioral, biological and health sciences. Its goal is to
improve health by training scholars to:
- investigate rigorously the connections among genetic, behavioral, environmental,
economic and social determinants of health; and
- develop, evaluate and disseminate knowledge and interventions based upon integration
of these determinants.
- The program is intended to produce leaders who will change the questions asked, the
methods employed to analyze problems and the range of solutions to reduce population
health disparities and improve the health of all Americans.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible, scholars must:
- have completed doctoral training by the time of entry into the program (August or
September 2008) in one of a variety of fields including, but not limited to, the behavioral
and social sciences, the biological and natural sciences, health professions, public policy,
public health, history and ethics;
- have significant research experience;
- clearly connect their research interests to substantive population health concerns; and
be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its territories.

[APPAM-L] Request for Proposals - Idea Papers on Financing Investments in Children
The Partnership for America's Economic Success has put forward a request for proposals for idea papers on policy options
and financing vehicles to encourage investments in services for young children (prenatal to age five) that contribute to
their development into successful, productive adults. The options explored should address generating investments
commensurate with the impact of children's healthy development on national and state economic vitality. Specifically, the Partnership seeks to commission papers on four topics in finance policy, innovation and analysis:
Analysis of opportunities for redirection of federal funding, especially expenditures that are portrayed as supporting economic growth but do not have the research-based evidence of impact that exists for children's programs.
Making better use of existing federal budget law, policy and procedures to force spending decisions to be considered on the basis of their contribution to economic growth and job creation.
Changing existing federal budget law, policy and procedures to force spending decisions to be considered on the basis of their contribution to economic growth and job creation.
Description of a macro-level financing system that would create a bond system or other financing mechanism to build a pool of funds for effective childrens programming. The bonds would be financed based on improvements in child outcomes.
A full-length description of this request for proposals, including detailed application instructions and contact
information, is attached to this message. Additional copies can be downloaded from our web site at available at:
http://www.partnershipforsuccess.org/uploads/200701_RFPpdf.pdf.

National Faith-Based and National Community Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Programs for High-Risk Women
The Office on Women's Health (OWH) and the Office of Minority
Health (OMH) within the Office of Public Health and Science, and the
Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) within the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS), are interested in establishing national faith-based and/or
national community cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention programs.
The purpose of the programs is to reduce CVD mortality and
morbidity among high-risk women in the United States through medical
screening and risk behavior modification. The CVD prevention programs
will be targeted towards high-risk racial and ethnic minority women,
aged 40 years and older; however, all high-risk women shall be eligible
to participate in the programs regardless of race, religion, or age.
Each grantee shall implement one program in 10 faith-based or
community-based sites across the United States, including urban and
rural areas. The main goal will be for program participants to increase
their level of physical activity and establish or maintain a healthy
weight over the course of the program. The educational phase of the
program shall consist of eight bi-weekly sessions that shall counsel
women on all of the major risk factors for CVD--smoking, Type 2
diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity--
while primarily focusing on controlling weight and increasing physical
activity. The maintenance phase of the project shall consist of
regularly scheduled, interactive maintenance sessions that shall be
designed by program participants. During both phases, participants will
be screened for all six major CVD risk factors. All counseling and
maintenance sessions shall include small group discussions and a
physical activity component focused on reducing risk.
These awards focus on President Bush's agenda to broaden Federal
efforts to work with faith-based and community organizations. As such,
each applicant must either: (1) Be a national faith-based or national
community organization that has a network of at least 10 sites across
the United States with large populations of high-risk racial and ethnic
minority women, aged 40 years and older, or (2) partner with a national
faith-based or national community organization that has a network of at
least 10 sites across the United States with large populations of high-
risk racial and ethnic minority women, aged 40 years and older. Non-
profit and for profit organizations that meet the above criteria are
eligible to apply. Faith-based organizations, community-based
organizations, tribal entities, educational institutions, community
health centers, and government entities that meet the above criteria
are also eligible and encouraged to apply.
