Some good money for research...

cheers!

The new Health e-Technologies Initiative of The Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation offers $10.3 million in grants for research that evaluates
whether eHealth services actually help. Specifically, the foundation wants
to know whether *interactive electronic communication* of health information
improves US residents' health-related behavior or their ability to cope if
they have chronic diseases. 
The $10.3 million will be awarded in two cycles, with a total of $7.25
million as a result of this 2002 Call for Proposals and the remainder after
a follow-up invitation to apply in 2003. First-round funds will be awarded
in two categories: 

1. Short-term, 6- to 12-month grants of up to $100,000 to help address
methodology and design challenges related to the scientific evaluation of
eHealth applications

2. Longer-term grants for up to 3 years and as much as $600,000 to evaluate
applications designed to produce or maintain health-related behavior change
or to enhance patient self-management of chronic disease

The deadline for letters of intent is January 8, 2003. 
See details on TheRobert Wood Johnson Foundation site.
