The Healthy Living Innovation Awards
is a new HHS initiative designed to identify and acknowledge
innovative health promotion projects within the last 3 years that
have demonstrated a significant impact on the health status of a
community. As a part of the Awards selection process interested
private and public sector organizations will nominate themselves by
completing an online form that asks several questions related to
the project and the organization as a whole. The nomination form is
designed to collect basic information (e.g. title of program, type
of organization, contact information) and more specific information
to determine innovation and replicability of the nominated programs
(e.g. target audience, program participation, operating costs). The
responses to these questions will be used to determine the
best-qualified nominees for each award category (faith-based and/or
community initiatives, health care delivery system, healthy work
place large and small, non-profit, public sector, Let's Move Cities
and Towns, and schools k-12).
This initiative uses
Recovery Act funds and is specified in the Office of the
Secretary's Spend Plan for the Prevention and Wellness section of
the Recovery Act. Thus we are on a very strict and aggressive
timeline for completion. Data collection must begin in December to
have this process completed by late March. The project will provide
an opportunity for HHS to increase public awareness of creative
approaches to develop and expand innovative health promotion
programs and duplicate successful strategies in various
settings.
