The New York State Department of Health (Department) announces the availability of funding to implement the Eat Well Play Hard in Child Care Settings (EWPHCCS) initiative. EWPHCCS is a research-tested, multi-level obesity prevention intervention that focuses on improving the nutrition and physical activity behaviors of low-income families and their children enrolled in registered and licensed child day care programs. This intervention also addresses environmental changes to reduce childhood obesity by influencing the nutrition, mealtime and physical activity practices that encourage wellness and healthy lifestyles. The Department is seeking applications from organizations to implement the EWPHCCS initiative in eligible child care centers.
The Department anticipates awarding two (2) contracts to implement EWPHCCS in the Capital and Lower Hudson Valley Regions of NYS. It is anticipated that approximately $435,000 in funding will be available annually to implement the following core EWPHCCS activities for the period October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2027:
• Maintain grant administration, fiscal accountability, record keeping, and reporting requirements;
