The Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation (RWJF) and The Pew Charitable Trusts, has issued a Call for
Proposals (CFP) to target factors outside of the health care sector as a
means for improving health equity in seven Southern and Appalachian states:
AL, AR, KY, LA, MS, TN, and WV.
The Health Impact Project will award seven "foundational" grants of up to
$45,000 to provide the resources, time, and skills for grantees to engage
key stakeholders and identify the most pressing health or health equity
issues facing their communities—as well as the nonhealth care drivers
behind those issues (i.e., health determinants). At the end of the grant
period, grantees will have a clear, community-driven plan of action for
achieving their outcome-based goals.
Deadline: November 13, 2015 by 5:00 pm ET.

*****************************************
Only half of American adults get enough physical activity to reduce the
risk of chronic disease, the leading cause of death in the United States.
Walking is an easy way to start and maintain a physically active
lifestyle. The Surgeon General aims to increase walking across the nation
by calling for access to safe and convenient places to walk and wheelchair
roll.
Please join the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in a live
webcast for the launch of this important Call To Action that will offer
strategies for increasing walking and walkable communities for people of
all ages and abilities.

If you are unable to participate or if you experience any technical
difficulties while trying to sign on to the webcast, a recording of the
event will be available on the Office of the Surgeon General’s website
after the release: www.surgeongeneral.gov
Please share this invitation with others who may be interested in learning
what they can do to promote walking and walkable communities for all.
FYI, as far as I know, there will NOT be a live webcast of the Call to
Action release event. America Walks is producing a webinar to help explain
