Federal awards to promote healthier lives
The awards announced Friday were funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a release.
The money is to support efforts by communities and schools to reduce obesity, increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and decrease smoking.
"Our goal through these statewide projects is to help make healthy choices the easier choices for all Americans, no matter where they live," Sebelius said. "When we improve obesity-related and tobacco policies, we make it that much easier for people to eat right, to get more physical activity, and to avoid or stop smoking."

How can I access this funding?
Hi, I have had a desire to start an after-school anti-obesity/tutoring/racquetball based program for youth in the Gaithersburg area for several years now. How can I become eligible for this funding?
