Health Impact Project
The Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts, is now accepting proposals for
health impact assessment demonstration projects. Up to 15 grants will be
awarded on a rolling basis and will range from between $25,000 and
$150,000 each.
Health impact assessments (HIAs) are a valuable decision-making tool for
policymakers. They take a flexible, data-driven approach toward
identifying the health consequences of new policies, and help develop
practical strategies to enhance their health benefits and minimize
adverse effects.
HIAs are an effective way to incorporate health into the decisions made
by sectors that do not traditionally focus on these outcomes (e.g. -
transportation, planning, education, and housing). This strategy helps
communities create safer environments and facilitate healthy living. For
example, an HIA for a new development in a cold climate region could
raise questions about indoor air quality due to modern construction
standards.
The Health Impact Project will fund government agencies, educational
institutions, and nonprofit organizations at the local, state, and
tribal levels. Individuals are not eligible for funding. Grantees will
receive training, mentoring, and technical assistance from the Health
Impact Project and leading HIA experts.
Applications for funding will only be accepted online. To begin the
application process, you must either login or create an account at:
http://apply.healthimpactproject.org/.
