The Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts, is a national initiative designed to promote the use of health impact assessments (HIAs) as a decision-making tool for policymakers. HIAs are a flexible, data-driven approach that identifies the health consequences of new policies, and develops practical strategies to enhance their health benefits and minimize adverse effects.

The project issued a rolling call for proposals and is now accepting applications to fund up to 15 HIA demonstrations at the local, state or tribal level. Grants will range from between $25,000 and $150,000 each. For more information and to apply online, visit www.healthimpactproject.org.
