[H+T--Friends] Call for Proposals: improving health equity in Southern and Appalachian states

This may be of interest to you and your networks. 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.
