ASCD has announced application guidelines for grants under the ASCD Health in Education Initiative, a new program seeking to raise awareness of public health among adolescents and educators. ASCD will award 10 grants of up to $20,000 per year for a two-year period to middle schools, junior high schools, or high schools that work with a community-based public health organization to develop programs that heighten student awareness of public health issues, methods, and careers.
Projects will be selected based on their innovativeness, potential effectiveness, integration with the curriculum, incorporation of a strong experiential learning component, and potential for replication. To receive guidelines, please contact Janis Tomlinson, Project Director, ASCD Health in Education Initiative, 1703 N. Beauregard St., Alexandria, VA 22311-1714; phone: 703-575-5622; fax: 703-575-5408; e-mail: HEALTH@ascd.org.
This program is made possible through the generous support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
