Fit Kids, Fit Cities
 |
||
| Project Summary The Fid Kids, Fit Cities planning project is intended to improve collaboration among organizations working to decrease overweight, obesity, and physical inactivity among school-age children, their families, and school personnel in three communities in Wisconsin. This notice announces the availability of approximately $6,500 per community to be used for planning and the adoption of strategies aimed at increasing physical activity in school and community settings. |
||
| Program Impact The immediate purpose of this initiative is to improve connectivity and collaboration between organizations working to increase physical activity and decrease overweight and obesity in Wisconsin. A more distal purpose is to increase physical activity levels and to contribute to a reduction in overweight and obesity. The primary target populations for this project are school-aged children in grades K-6, their families, and school personnel in three pilot communities. Finally, the funding organization, its advisors and academic partner seek to fund processes that are well-documented and may be replicated in other communities. |

| Eligibility Eligible applicants include community- and/or school-based coalitions. Preference will be given to those communities in which an active local Physical Activity and Nutrition Coalition has been formed. |
