  Marcia Ory, a Regents professor at the Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Rural Public Health, made her comments as Texas learned it would be one of three states awarded $2 million by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to evaluate the effectiveness of childhood obesity prevention policies.
  
  The grant will allow for a large study of underserved populations, including the Hispanic population along the Texas-Mexico border region.
  
  Ory said it would also provide an opportunity to bring the best of research to a real-world policy issue that is affecting the lives of millions of Texas school children. "It is critically important to address policy issues that can have a positive effect on improving healthy eating and increasing safe and accessible places for physical activity in order to reduce the alarming trends toward childhood obesity in our state," Ory said.

  Co-leading the program will be Deanna Hoelscher, Ph.D., R.D., professor at The University of Texas School of Public Health Austin Regional Campus and director of the Michael & Susan Dell Center for Advancement of Healthy Living, and Ory.

  The recognition will attract retirees to the area and help leverage future support for senior-focused programs, according to Marcia Ory, a professor at the Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Rural Public Health.
  
  "It's worth more than a $5,000 award," Ory said."It will put the Brazos Valley on the map for being innovative, creative, forward-thinking and senior-friendly."
  
  Ory -- who is director of Active for Life, a national program that develops physical activity programs for older adults -- was part of the original EPA committee that developed the program to encourage building communities that are good for the environment and encourage an active lifestyle among seniors.
  
  The Brazos Valley Council of Governments, along with organizations in Minnesota, Arkansas, Maryland and Maine, received commitment awards, which recognize communities that are planning and beginning to integrate programs for the elderly.Organizations in Georgia and Washington received achievement awards for implementing those initiatives.
  
  Ory emphasized that the region hasn't reached its goal yet.
  
  "We're not where we need to be, but we're at the table," she said.
  
  What made the Brazos Valley stand out from other applicants, she said, is voluntary partnerships between academic, health care, business and policy organizations to work toward a common goal.
  
  She said it's unusual for people to collaborate on this issue across multiple cities and counties.
  ...
  "This is just the start," Ory said.
