FITNESSGRAM / ACTIVITYGRAM Research Grant Program:
The Cooper Institute has created the FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM Research Grant program to stimulate research on applied issues that are relevant to the use of the FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM program. This program is funded by the Cooper Institute, which is dedicated to advancing the understanding of the relationship between living habits and health and to providing leadership in implementing these concepts to enhance the physical and emotional well-being of individuals.
The funding program will consider applications for a maximum of $10,000 per study and can likely fund up to two studies per year. Priority will be given to applications that have a high probability of addressing critical research questions related to children/youth fitness and physical activity, and/or promoting FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM programs.
Applications can be submitted at any time during the year, but will be reviewed at the Advisory Board meeting in June each year. The deadline for submissions in 2006 is June 2nd. Application forms and guidelines may be requested by sending an email to fitnessgram@cooperinst.org. |
