Games for Health

[wiredgirl2]

I was pretty excited when I got this in my inbox today. I thought at first it was a series of grants to people making video games to help people with health issues or to exercise. Unfortunately, it's actually a series of $8 million dollar grants to _study_ health games. As I'm not a researcher, nor do I have much research experience, I would have a very hard time getting a grant. To apply, you need to belong to a non-profit or a university as well. In fact I do belong to a non-profit organization, but I don't think they'd take a proposal from the Canine Council of Morley Field seriously.

Anyways, for those of you who might be interested and qualified, here are links to the grant applications.
