MiamiOH OARS on 01 May 18Policies for Action was created to help build the evidence base for policies that can help build a Culture of Health. The foundation is interested in learning how national, state, or local policies can promote lifelong health and health equity for individuals, families, and communities; as well as what enabling factors promote the adoption and spread of good policies. Grants of up to $250,000 will be awarded for projects that investigate public and private policies from a range of political ideologies and perspectives. By policies, the foundation means not just laws and regulations at the local, state, and federal level, but also private sector practices, such as those affecting workplaces, neighborhood and community development, and family stability. Both public and private sector policies and practices can significantly impact a person's health. These policies and practices might be related to: health care; public health; education and training; housing and community development; civil rights; transportation, and planning; labor and employment; taxes and spending.
