Title: Getting Americans Covered: Ideas from the Field

From: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

Information: The Coverage team of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is accepting proposals for projects that promote the Foundation’s goal of ensuring that all Americans have stable, affordable health care coverage. The Foundation will allocate up to $2 million to support individual grants of up to $250,000 each. The grant period is expected to begin in November 2010 and extend for up to 24 months.

The recently enacted Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is expected to make health insurance coverage available to more than 30 million more Americans. Achieving such substantial increases in the number of Americans covered by health insurance will largely depend on the success of efforts to implement the new law effectively. Through this call for proposals, RWJF will fund projects that focus on addressing specific aspects of the new law that present significant opportunities to expand coverage (e.g., Medicaid expansions, subsidy programs for small businesses and individuals who otherwise would not be able to afford insurance, or private-market health insurance reforms).

For more information, check out the website.

Key Dates:

  • May 27, 2010 (3 p.m. ET)—Deadline for receipt of brief proposals.
  • June 17, 2010—Applicants notified if invited to submit a full proposal.
  • July 28, 2010 (3 p.m. ET)—Deadline for receipt of full proposals.
  • November 1, 2010—Start of grants.
