The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has announced a call for applications for Research to Advance Models of Care for Medicaid-eligible Populations.
The HSTRC recognizes components of promising health system models of care as part of the evidence base. Specifically, successful health system models of care clearly articulate the following components: their population of interest; the set of needs (medical and nonmedical) they aim to address; how data infrastructure supports model success; model activities and/or interventions; the set of resources required to carry out the activities or interventions; mechanisms that may be leveraged to develop, implement, or sustain the model; and what model success looks like. Proposals should aim to strengthen the evidence base for these promising components or fill gaps for components where limited or no evidence is available.
Goal
- The goal of the program is to conduct original research and evaluate the extent to which health system models of care are advancing health equity for the Medicaid-eligible populations they serve.
- For the purposes of this work, they define health systems as facility-based provider organizations that serve a high percentage of Medicaid-eligible individuals (e.g., public or essential hospitals/health systems, federally qualified health centers, integrated delivery systems that serve a high percentage of Medicaid-eligible individuals).
Funding Information
- Up to $2.7 million will be available under this CFP.
- Project funding for each grant can be up to $300,000 each to accommodate grants between 12–18 months.
- Up to nine studies will be funded.
Eligibility Criteria
- Projects may be generated from health systems—defined as facility-based provider organizations or other provider organizations (e.g., public or essential hospitals, federally qualified health centers, integrated delivery systems, and community-based organizations)—which primarily serve a high percentage of Medicaid-eligible individuals. Researchers, as well as practitioners and public and private partners working with researchers, are eligible to submit proposals through their organizations. Researchers do not have to be affiliated with a health system but are expected to partner with a health system for the purposes of this project.
- Preference will be given to applicants that are either public entities or nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are not private foundations or Type III supporting organizations. The Foundation may require additional documentation.
- Applicant organizations must be based in the United States or its territories.
