Hi Everyone.
 
See below for a funding opportunity for a coalition within a state.  Looks like this might work with our group, especially if TDA took the lead.  Would anyone be interested in pursuing this?  FYI, we have a current CDC grant in which we have revised the CATCH nutrition materials to fit the Dietary Guidelines, so we could maybe partner on that aspect.  There might be others that have similar materials that could be used.
 
What do you all think?
 
If anyone is interested, please let me know.  We can also begin a group (email) dialogue if you can reply to all.
 
Thanks!
 
Deanna
