Letter of Intent Deadline: September 22, 2004
Nomination Deadline: November 10, 2004

Do you know someone who finds creative ways, despite complex odds, to bring health services to their communities?

If so, consider nominating him/her for the Robert Wood Johnson Community Health Leadership Program’s (CHLP) annual leadership award. Ten honorees will be selected from across the United States to receive $120,000 each, of which $105,000 is earmarked for program support and leveraging other resources. The remaining $15,000 is slated for use as a personal stipend.

Nomination Criteria
Nominees must be U.S. citizens or residents living and working in the United States, District of Columbia or Puerto Rico. Candidates must work and/or volunteer three-quarters or full-time in community-based organizations, and have gone above and beyond the call of duty for their local areas.

Please Note: Only nominations of "unsung heroes," who have yet to receive a major honor or award, will be accepted.
