Q&A About the Challenge
Active Schools Acceleration Project:
The Active Schools Acceleration Project (ASAP) is an initiative of ChildObesity180, a non-profit organization conducted in collaboration with Tufts University, which fosters cross-sector collaboration in order to reverse the trend of childhood obesity within one generation’s time. ASAP seeks to increase quality physical activity in schools as a means to promote healthy, active living and to evoke the beneficial behavioral and academic outcomes that follow.

ASAP Innovation Competition
March 15, 2012
What?
The ASAP Innovation Competition is a nationwide competition designed to identify and reward innovative and impactful physical activity programs and technologies with excellent promise to motivate quality physical activity at school and beyond.
Why?
Our ultimate goal is to celebrate innovative and scalable approaches, shining a light on these laudable methods, so they can be shared and ultimately benefit an even greater number of children. In the case of top winners of the competition, we will collaborate with those teams to deeply understand the methods and evidence behind their success, and develop plans and mechanisms through which they can achieve exponential scale and impact.
ASAP Innovation Competition
March 15, 2012
Two Competition Categories:
School Programs – Designed to uncover effective, scalable physical activity
programs currently on-the-ground and in motion in schools across the
country.
Technology Innovation – Seeking the best in new and emerging
technologies, or applications of existing technologies, with excellent promise
to motivate quality physical activity in school-time settings, and beyond.
School Programs: Eligibility
o Physical activity program is currently up and running in a school or district
o Reaches students within 5-12 year age range (K-5, K-6 students)
o Program meets following definition - any curriculum, activity, environmental modification, event, or other initiative that promotes quality school-time physical activity
o School-time may encompass before and after-school opportunities
March 15, 2012
School Programs: Evaluation Criteria
• Originality (10%)
• Fun & Engaging for Kids (10%)
• Health Promoting (20%)
• Cost-Effective & Sustainable (20%)
• Highly Scalable (10%)
• Reaches All Ages & Ability Levels (20%)
• Instills Transferable Skills, Habits, & Attitudes (10%)
March 15, 2012
School Programs: Awards
Regional Winners 8 Regions + 2 Wildcards $25,000 Award
National Winners 2 Winners (from among regional pool) $100,000 Award + Development Pilot Awards are intended to recognize and reward outstanding physical activity programs that have been implemented by passionate educators across the country. Prize funds may be invested into school-based fitness and wellness programming that increases quality physical activity and supports obesity prevention. Winners may determine how prize funds will best advance these goals in their school community.

School Programs: Pilot Study
March 15, 2012
Developmental pilot studies will be conducted in collaboration with the two National Winning teams and their respective schools and/or districts. The goal of these pilots will be to develop a plan for expanding and replicating the methods of these winning programs in schools of different types, geographies, and sizes across the country. Specific pilot design will be vary according to the nature of the winning programs; their stage of development, geographical location, and nature of the activities involved.
Core principles and activities of all pilots will include:
oProgram Observation – How/Why is this program effective? Why does it work in this particular setting?
oEfficacy Analysis – Plan for monitoring & evaluation established including any appropriate metric/measurement systems.
oExpansion Planning – Development of evidence-based plan for expansion to schools/districts of different types, sizes, and geographies; plan for implementation of scale-up
School Programs: Timeline
o Competition Launch February 7 o Application Submission Window February 7 – April 2 o Judging & Evaluation April 3 – May 13 o Regional & Wildcard Winners Announced May 14 o Invites to Awards Ceremony Sent
o Awards Ceremony National Winners Announced June (Week of 6/11)
March 15, 2012
Technology Innovation: Eligibility
o Eligible entries should present technological innovations, including both newly developed technologies and/or unique applications of existing technologies that can increase quality physical activity in school and beyond
o The intended applicant is the developer and owner of the respective technology. The entrant team must be able to demonstrate proprietorship over submitted technology, including any associated intellectual property rights
o The specific technology is at an advanced stage of development; commercially viable or very nearly so. This is not intended to be an ideas competition.
o Entries must be able to demonstrate at least one application with children within 5-12 year old age range (K-5, K-6 students)
March 15, 2012
Technology Innovation: Evaluation Criteria o Innovative, Original, Fun & Engaging for Kids (10%)
o Health Promoting (15%)
o Reliable, Accurate, & Trackable (15%)
o Cost-effective, Affordable, Sustainable, & Scalable (20%)
o Reaches All Ages & Ability Levels (10%)
o Instills Transferable Skills, Habits, & Attitudes (10%)
o Non-Disruptive to School Environments (10%)
o Ease of Implementation & Maintenance (10%)
March 15, 2012
Technology Innovation: Awards
Two (2) Grand Prize Winners
o Participate in school-based pilot studies, each with $50,000 budget & additional staff support
o Pilots to be conducted in collaboration with winning team, designed and managed by Tufts University & ChildObesity180
o Opportunity to present at Health 2.0 Annual Fall Conference
o October 2012, San Francisco, CA
March 15, 2012
Technology Innovation: Pilot Study
Pilots will be designed to evaluate the potential of winning technologies to motivate and encourage 60 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous activity in a school setting and beyond. Goal of pilot study will be to develop a plan for rolling out winning technologies in schools of different types, geographies, and sizes across the country. Pilot design will vary according to technology type and capabilities.
Core principles and activities of all pilots will include: o Technology Observation – How/Why is does this technology motivate physical
activity? How can it be effective in a school setting?
o Efficacy Analysis – Plan for monitoring & evaluation established including any appropriate metric/measurement systems.
o Expansion Planning – Development of evidence-based plan for roll-out to schools/districts of different types, sizes, and geographies
