The purpose of this partnership is to fund community-based coalitions to work with schools, communities, workplaces and busi-nesses to implement effective policies and programs that promote opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity. The grants will begin with a 15 month start-up/ planning period in August 2011, and will have a 4 year implementation cycle. The Strong & Healthy Oklahoma staff will be providing technical assistance to all grantees to ensure that policies are in place and im-plemented as intended, as well as providing expertise in physical activity and nutrition.
