The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to launch Active Living Research  Active Living Research (ALR) is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) that supports research to inform policy and environmental strategies for increasing physical activity among children and adolescents, decreasing their sedentary behaviors and preventing obesity. The program places special emphasis on reaching children and youths ages 3 to 18 who are at highest risk for obesity. For maximum impact, studies should be completed in as short a time frame as realistically possible, and results disseminated using methods designed to reach local, state or national decision-makers in time to help inform key policy decisions. Detailed results of these studies, including methodologies and data analyses, along with the outcome of all the efforts to reach policy audiences, also should be subsequently reported in peer-reviewed publications. A total of up to $1.5 million will be awarded under this 2010-2011 Rapid-Response call for proposals (CFP). The maximum award for a single grant is $150,000, with a maximum funding period of 18 months. Application Deadline: July 1, 2011
