Up to $100,000 USD in grants to quantify the value of an active day

Have you ever wondered what an active day is really worth?

We all know that physical activity has value, but when it comes time to quantify that value, there are crickets. Now, we’re going to find the answer.

We’re accepting proposals from academic institutions to develop frameworks to quantify the economic value of an active day* from multiple perspectives.

During Phase One, up to five institutions will receive grants of $10,000–$20,000 USD to develop frameworks for analyzing the physical, mental, and economic benefits of an active day. Submissions should outline 3 different approaches to estimating the aggregate value of physical activity and provide three estimated values for the formulas proposed.

*Where “active day” equals 10,000 steps

How to apply:

Email grants@sweateconomy.com with the following info:

• Credentials and relevant experience in health and behavioral economics
• Team structure
• Proposed methodology and process
• Timeline and costs
• A short video introduction (1–3 minutes) that we’ll use to drive exposure to your vision. Should your application be accepted, you may be required to sign a release that allows us to use your name/likeness/video in this regard.

Successful research should include the following:

• A brief analysis of existing prior literature and thinking around the economic value of physical activity, particularly, 10,000 daily steps.
• Three (3) different approaches or formulas to estimate the aggregate value of physical activity. (Think: saving on gas, reduced absenteeism, improved staff retention, reduction in healthcare costs, increase in life expectancy, etc. These are just ideas; we’re sure you’ll have more!)
