    Proposed Projects: Factors and Strategies that are Effective in 
Establishing Policy and Environmental Interventions Designed to Promote 
Good Nutrition and Physical Activity--New--The National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), proposes to conduct a study to 
determine what is needed to implement and sustain policy and 
environmental interventions to promote physical activity and good 
nutrition for cardiovascular health. Policy and environmental 
intervention approaches to promoting physical activity and good 
nutrition are a new paradigm shift for intervention activities, 
therefore, research is required to determine what is needed to 
implement and sustain these types of interventions.
    The proposed study will be conducted in three phases. Phase 1 
Background Information: A review will be conducted of the literature of 
national conferences to identify experts

[[Page 17715]]

in the field of policy and environmental interventions to promote 
physical activity and good nutrition. Phase 2 Expert Interviews: State 
representatives, recognized experts, and others will be contacted via 
telephone to gather detailed information on both successful and 
promising environmental and policy interventions. Phase 3 Key Informant 
Interviews: Key informant interviews will be conducted with selected 
interventions and programs that were indicated in Phases 1 and 2 to 
identify activities, methods, and lessons learned for their successful 
implementation. We will summarize and evaluate interview results and 
disseminate to cardiovascular health funded States to assist in 
designing policy and environmental interventions to promote physical 
activity and good nutrition.
    The total cost estimate is $ 16,551 over a three-month period.
