Oral
Money and resources drive the direction and emphasis of public health initiatives. This session will not only describe the social return on investment framework, but provide examples of how it has been utilized in the public health field. Challenges to securing and sustaining funding will be described.
Session Objectives: At the end of this session, participants will be better able to: • Discuss advantages and challenges to using mini-grants as a community planning tool. • Demonstrate how critical it is to show impact of state funded early childhood programs during times of severe budget cut-backs. • Describe the Healthy Food Financing Initiative, an initiative proposed by President Obama and legislators in the US Senate and House of Representatives.
