Awards

Roadmaps to Health Prize
The Roadmaps to Health Prize is part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded County Health Roadmaps project and will recognize communities across the U.S. that have successfully mobilized to improve population health. Communities throughout the country are actively engaged in finding ways to increase the health and vitality of residents. The Roadmaps to Health Prize is rooted in the idea that every community is on a unique journey toward better health and that communities' stories of success are as diverse as their populations. The prize will honor the accomplishments of communities along this journey, from those that have achieved tremendous success to those that have struggled against great odds and may just be beginning to see results. The Roadmaps to Health Prize is a place-based prize that will honor whole communities (rather than individuals or individual organizations). All U.S. communities are eligible to apply. For the purposes of the prize, "communities" are defined as towns, cities, counties, regions (such as contiguous towns, cities, or counties), tribes, and tribal communities. The application deadline is May 31, 2012. Learn more about the prize here, or view the Call for Applications here.

AAP Julius B. Richmond AAP/FAMRI Scholarship Program
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Julius B. Richmond AAP/FAMRI Scholarship Program provides postdoctoral support for academic general pediatricians and sub-specialists working on children’s secondhand tobacco smoke exposure and means to reduce such exposure. The goal of the program is to train future leaders in research and community/advocacy that are focused on the reduction and elimination of children’s secondhand tobacco smoke/tobacco exposure. This program provides up to $50,000 for two years ($25,000 per year) for postdoctoral fellows to support their research related to children and SHS. Projects must be consistent with goals of the Richmond Center. AAP/FAMRI Scholarship Awards involve a two-part selection process. The deadline for preliminary proposals is Friday June 1, 2012 at 5:00 pm ET, and funding will be available to award grantees on or before September 1, 2012.
