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.
