PepsiCo Healthy Lifestyle Innovation Research Grant 2010
A single grant of $5,000 will be awarded to recognize and encourage innovative approaches to promote
healthy living through nutrition and physical activity. Any ADA member who is also a Registered Dietitian
(RD) or dietetics student is eligible to apply.
Projects must focus on the topic of breakfast; why people don’t eat breakfast, and how to increase the
number of people who do eat breakfast. Focus on families with children, and strive to change and sustain
behavior in an innovative way. Applications must include a clearly stated and testable hypothesis.
Applications will be judged based on innovation (25%), likelihood of success (25%), evaluation plan
(25%) and whether or not the project is replicable (25%). Fifty percent ($2,250) of the grant will be
awarded upfront to the recipient or the partnering organization, and the remaining 50% will be awarded
only after a mid-term report has been returned to the ADA Foundation. A final report will be due 12
months from the initiation of the study. All research must be completed within one year.
The grant recipient must submit an article to the Journal of the American Dietetic Association or submit a
poster for presentation at the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE). Recipients are also
encouraged to submit their findings for an educational session at FNCE.
A resume or CV of the principal investigator should be attached. At least one letter of support should be
included. Use the attached application form; note that boxes will expand to accommodate your written
responses. The complete application, including letters of support and CV or resume, should not exceed
10 pages.
