Purpose

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) recognizes that the health of our
nation depends upon the health and well-being of our children and families.
RWJF believes that all families—no matter who they are, where they live, or
how much money they make—should have the resources they need to foster
healthy development from their children’s earliest years.

RWJF has widened its focus on childhood obesity to consider issues such as
nutritional adequacy; upstream factors affecting food supply; nutritional
assistance; and indicators of food quality and availability. To contribute
to research, evaluation, and learning, especially for its healthy children
and families focus area, RWJF is partnering with the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Economic Research Service (ERS) on an opportunity to
make their valuable data on food and nutrition available to researchers. By
doing so, we hope to support research that will help to overcome structural
barriers to equitable access to healthy food.

As the agency within the USDA that anticipates trends and emerging issues
in agriculture, food, the environment, and rural America, ERS conducts
high-quality, objective economic research to inform and enhance public and
private decision-making. ERS has acquired several food-related data, both
restricted- and private-use assets, which comprise the Consumer Food Data
System (CFDs). These data assets will support research on relevant and
timely evidence that informs the USDA, Congress, and the public about the
food sector and about key national issues regarding food and health—such as
food insecurity, obesity, diet quality, and nutrition assistance programs.

RWJF and ERS are announcing a call for proposals

(CFP) for researchers who will use one or more restricted-use data assets
from the CFDs. We seek to develop a cohort of researchers from diverse
academic disciplines and institutions who will produce policy-relevant
research on food policy; food retail markets; consumer behaviors related to
food purchases and diet; and USDA nutrition assistance programs. It is our
hope that the resulting research evidence will inform RWJF’s goal of
creating equitable access to nutritious food.
