Health Impact Project: Advancing Smarter Policies for Healthier Communities
|
|
Description
|
Total Grant Amounts: RWJF has provided Pew a $7.2 million grant to operate and administer the Health Impact Project out of Pew’s Washington, D.C., office. Grants will range from $25,000 to $150,000.
The Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts, encourages the use of health impact assessment (HIA) to help decision-makers better assess proposed policies, project, and programs with respect to their impact on health, in order that they may avoid adverse health consequences and costs and improve health. Selection will be based on the following: (1) significance of the pending policy, program or project decision to health;
(2) focus on a policy, program, or project that is under active consideration; (3) demonstrated partnerships between the applicant organization(s) and other stakeholder agencies and organizations; (4) demonstrated commitment to an impartial science-based appraisal of the risks, benefits, tradeoffs, and alternatives involved in the decision; (5) a clear, effective strategy for implementing recommendations; (6) a well-conceived communications strategy for informing and educating target audiences about the HIA project, results, and recommendations; (7) potential for the HIA to add value to the decision-making process by addressing health issues that are not already known or may not be immediately obvious, by analyzing and clarifying complex health risks and health effects, addressing the potential for differential impacts on vulnerable populations, or by generating health-based recommendations not yet considered; (8) contribution of the proposed project to the field of HIA in the United States; (9) the applicant organization’s demonstrated credibility as a source of impartial and scientifically valid information on the decision addressed by the HIA; (10) a strong plan for soliciting and responding to input from affected communities and key stakeholders, including relevant public agencies and leaders, community groups, scientific experts and other organizations; (11) adequate public health expertise, either within the applicant organization or through a collaborative agreement with an appropriate individual or organization; (12) anticipated training and technical assistance needs, whether general, specialized, or both; and (13) appropriateness of proposed budget and project time line. Please refer to the call for proposals for complete information on eligibility and selection criteria.

Application Process
|
All letters of interest and full proposals must be submitted through the online application found on the project Web site.
There are two stages in the competitive proposal process: (1) applicant organizations submit a letter of interest that describes the project and; if invited, (2) select applicant organizations will then submit a full proposal, budget, budget narrative, and organizational documents for review. For selected grantee organizations, the training and technical assistance will be negotiated based on the applicant organization’s needs.
A Web conference call will be held after the release of the CFP to provide prospective grantees with additional information, and it will be archived on the Web site for later review.
Unfortunately, due to the large number of proposals that we are likely to receive, neither Pew nor RWJF are able to provide individual comments on letters of interest or full proposals.
For complete instructions on the Web conference call, letters of intent, and full proposal requirements, please visit the project Web site at www.healthimpactproject.org.
