$ AVAILABLE
: Up to eight demonstration projects will be awarded in this round of funding. Grants
will range from $25,000 to $125,000 each and must be completed within 18 months.

ELIGIBILITY: Eligible applicant organizations include: state, tribal or local agencies; tax-exempt
educational institutions; or publicly supported charitable organizations that are tax-exempt under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Applicant organizations must be located in the
United States or its territories.

PURPOSE: The Health Impact Project is a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
and The Pew Charitable Trusts advancing the use of health impact assessment (HIA), which
provides sound, objective data than can help decision-makers identify the health ramifications of
proposals in a range of sectors that do not traditionally focus on health outcomes, and make
recommendations that enhance health benefits and minimize adverse effects and associated
costs.

A new call for proposals has been issued to help demonstrate the effectiveness of HIAs and
promote their incorporation into local, state, tribal and federal decision-making. This call for
proposals will support organizations that wish to undertake an HIA of a proposed policy, project or
program currently or soon to be under active consideration by a decision-making body.
