Johnson (Robert Wood) Foundation - Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization [20357]
Synopsis: The sponsor requests proposals for policy analysis, research, evaluation and demonstration projects that provide public and private decision leaders with usable and timely information on health care policy and financing issues. Two sizes of grants are available: small grants are available for projects requiring up to $100,000 and projected to take twelve months or less; larger grants are available for projects requiring $100,000 or more and/or projected to take longer than twelve months.
Objectives: This Call for Proposals is intended to stimulate projects that:
Examine significant issues and interventions related to health care financing and organization and their effects on health care costs, quality, and access; and explore and test new ways to finance health care that have the potential to improve access to more affordable and higher quality health services. Projects may be initiated from within many disciplines, including health services research, economics, sociology, political science, public policy, public health, public administration, law and business administration.
The sponsor provides support for research, demonstration, and evaluation projects examining major changes in health care financing with implications for current public policy issues. Three types of projects will be considered for funding under this solicitation: policy analyses and research to design and analyze major health care financing strategies, including strategies where financing and organization are integrally related; evaluations of major strategies already in place; and demonstrations to test new strategies. All projects must address how current public and private mechanisms for financing health care, or proposed major changes in those mechanisms, will affect health care costs, access, or quality.
