Abstract

In late 2001, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) created Active Living by Design (ALbD) and its National Program Office (NPO), headquartered at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This initiative aimed to promote routine physical activity by funding multidisciplinary partnerships in 25 diverse communities across the nation. Starting in 2003, each partnership received up to $40,000 per year for 5 years. To address the social and ecologic factors that affect activity, the partnerships implemented the 5P Community Action Model, encompassing strategies for preparation, promotions, programs, policy influences, and physical projects.
