Up to 12 slots are available annually, with priority given to leaders from Appalachian Kentucky and to projects related to key areas of research interest, including:

- Reducing obesity and sedentary lifestyle
- Prevention and management of chronic diseases (e.g., diabetes and cardiovascular disease)
