FNIH welcomes applications for The Heart Truth® Community Action Program grants

The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health is pleased to announce a call for applications for The Heart Truth® Community Action Program grants. Online applications are due by 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on March 25, 2015.

Part of The Heart Truth program developed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the Community Action Program funds organizations to promote The Heart Truth message to a geographically broad audience and to re-grant funds to partner organizations or affiliates that will in turn implement community-level activities that motivate women to take personal action to lower or control their risk for heart disease. Priority will be given to applicants with the ability to reach women at increased risk for heart disease, particularly women of color and/or low income and in rural areas.

Grants ranging from $100,000 - $200,000 will be awarded for a one-year period. The full Request for Applications and online application instructions are available at http://www.fnih.org/work/education-training/hearttruth-grants.
