RWJF Roadmap to Health Prizes

As you might be aware, the latest County Health Rankings were released last week. Up to six RWJF Roadmaps to Health Prize winning communities will be honored in 2014 and each will receive a no-strings-attached $25,000 cash prize. Winning communities’ success stories will be celebrated and shared broadly in a variety of ways and may include live local and national celebratory events, meetings and conferences, Web and online platforms, and video, social, broadcast and print media—all with the goal of raising awareness and inspiring locally-driven change across the country. The invitation to apply for this prize is being extended to all U.S. communities working toward better health. The prize is an opportunity for RWJF, UWPHI and the nation to honor and promote these successes.

The Call for Applications for the second round of the RWJF Roadmaps to Health Prize was released March 20 in conjunction with the release of the 2013 County Health Rankings. The Phase I application will be due May 23, 2013. To find out more about the prizes and application process, you are invited to join RWJF on Tuesday, April 2 from 12-1 pm Central Daylight Time (1-2 pm Eastern Daylight Time) for the RWJF Roadmaps to Health Prize Informational Webinar. This informational webinar will provide details about the second round of the prize, including theapplication and selection processes. We encourage anyone having an interest in the prize to participate. There will be time to answer participant questions as well.
