Call for Proposals: Moving from Rankings to Action
County Health Rankings is a “call to action” for communities to work together to develop programs and policies that help people lead healthier lives. The Rankings are a key component of the Mobilizing Action Toward Community Health (MATCH) project, a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. Now, a new funding opportunity from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the MATCH Community Grants Program will help counties translate the Rankings into action.
Under this new MATCH initiative, the Foundation is releasing a call for proposals (CFP) that will provide funds for up to 14 communities to implement tangible, measureable health improvements. Grantees will receive awards up to $200,000 for up to 24 months to implement their proposed policy or systems change strategy. The Foundation will release a call for proposals (CFP) on March 30th. The grants will be announced in early September 2011.
