The CDC Foundation and CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health are
pleased to announce an exciting grant opportunity for elementary schools in
selected states to improve the health of school children by increasing physical
activity and nutrition programs for children.
Made possible by a $300,000 grant from Cargill and in partnership with the
American School Health Association, CDC is offering mini-grants to support
physical activity or nutrition-related activities that are part of action plans
developed using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) School
Health Index: A Self-Assessment and Planning Guide (SHI) http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/SHI
. The majority of these mini-grants will range from $1,000 to $5,000, and no
award will exceed $10,000.
Deadline for schools to submit a letter of intent via e-mail to
mbenjami@ashaweb.org is
November 14, 2005. Full application due January 17, 2006.
Further information and application information available via the American
School Health Association at http://www.ashaweb.org/mini_grants.html |
