It says in the call for proposals that funds should be included for the principal investigator to participate in an annual grantee meeting. Can you provide more information?
The Healthy Eating Research program convenes grantees each year as a way to learn from each other, present research findings, network and build the field, and provide an opportunity for the Healthy Eating Research program to provide technical assistance. Grant funds should be allocated for this purpose, as described in the budget guidelines. Funds for up to two individuals to attend one grantee meeting in each year of funding should be included in the proposed budget. The 6th Annual Grantee Meeting is scheduled for February 2012. Individuals applying for a RWJF New Connections grant through the Healthy Eating Research program should also include travel funds for the principal investigator to attend the RWJF New Connections Symposium in each year of funding.
