Reversing the childhood obesity epidemic and preventing its reemergence will require the efforts of many players: foundations, community organizations, industry, researchers, advocates, parents, policymakers at all levels of government and more. The center hopes to learn from those already working in the field and help guide the national movement to prevent childhood obesity by disseminating information about the most promising strategies, building capacity and providing a national voice for the movement.
The organizations and programs listed below are among those currently funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to help reverse the childhood obesity epidemic.
