What should applicants from Minnesota know as they are preparing an application? How do the projects funded in Minnesota fit with the Health Impact Project?
A – The Health Impact Project, in cooperation with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Foundation, will support up to two HIAs in Minnesota under the Health Impact Project’s current call for proposals. These new HIAs are in addition to the eight demonstration projects that will be selected from a nationwide search. All parameters in the current CFP apply, with the exception that, for the two Minnesota-based HIAs, the project will also consider proposals that address transit-oriented development (for example, neighborhood planning in relation to new public transit stops.) Land use and other types of transportation-related projects are eligible for funding as well. A high percentage of HIA work in the U.S. to date has focused on various types of “built environment” decision-making (e.g., general plans, comprehensive plans, transit and transportation projects, zoning, and housing), and we anticipate receiving a large number of proposals seeking to address the built environment in
