In 2010, the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) issued regulations for the Carol M. White Physical Education Program (PEP) to reflect best practices and research for improving children's and adolescents' health and fitness. The goal was to encourage physical activity and healthy eating and help students meet their state standards for physical education. PEP has since expanded in a variety of ways, including an additional focus on promoting healthy eating habits and good nutrition, requiring nutrition- and physical-activity-related policy development, establishing community partnerships for a collaborative approach to youth fitness and nutrition, and implementing new youth outcome measures. This brief provides an overview of the new projects funded by FY 2010 PEP grant awards. These projects represent the first cohort of grantees since the revision of PEP. This brief reports on implementation processes, activities, and grantee-reported accomplishments and challenges during the first year of the grants. A final report documents project activities and experiences over the three-year grant cycle (see ED594697).
