Participate in the Children's Healthy Weight CoIIN
The Children's Healthy Weight Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (CoIIN) is recruiting state teams to learn more about the project. The Children's Healthy Weight CoIIN will support states' efforts to promote nutrition, physical activity, and breastfeeding in the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant Program. State team will be engaged using a two-phased approach:
· Phase I: By entering phase one, a state commits to learning the details of this CoIIN. If the state wants to continue in the CoIIN, the state must develop a work plan consistent with the breastfeeding and/or physical activity work streams. The state must recruit a team of at least four people.
· Phase II: Applications to stay in the project are required. Only states in phase I are eligible to apply for phase II.
Phase I applications must be received by July 10. Contact Sandy Perkins (sandy@asphn.org) for more information.
