The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance are offering a thousand bucks for a research project to develop Health At Every Size.
You have to be an undergraduate or graduate student from an accredited academic institution, as well as being a US citizen or having the legal right to work in the United States (This means that you will not be competing with me for this money!).

NAAFA deserves tremendous credit for setting up this fund for the research on HAES. Health at Every Size is a philosophy that has an increasing number of supporters, but of course, plenty of opponents, especially those who stand to lose customers (or be discredited) if HAES catches on. Actually, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that happens, that the Weight Watchers organisation advertises that they invented it! :-)
