As an American Heart Association Professional Member, you are among the first to hear about the initial Request for Proposals (RFP) for our new Food Is Medicine Initiative, funded with support from The Rockefeller Foundation.

This Request for Proposals is focused on feasibility and implementation science, specifically achieving high rates of enrollment and engagement, and testing ways to achieve significant short-term changes in healthy eating behavior. Equity is central to this initiative, and applicants will be strongly encouraged to use a patient-centered approach to study design, and wherever possible, input from lived experience of patient participants and practitioners should guide program design.

The research that springs from this first RFP will build the foundation for future large-scale clinical trials. Ultimately, the initiative’s research aims to generate the definitive evidence needed to provide widespread coverage of food-based treatment options for the millions of Americans living with chronic disease.
 

Initial Request for Proposal applications are open through November 6th, 2023
and a webinar will be held on October 4th to answer questions.

AHA Professional Membership is required so please join today then apply.
