This Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grant program, managed by AcademyHealth, funds rigorous, empirical studies that evaluate or predict the potential effects of policies or policy changes intended to transform health and health care systems.
Research Insights
The aim of public and private funders of health services research is not only to support studies on the health care system and health care services, but also to disseminate results to policymakers.
Special Topic Research Programs
The most effective health care policy is informed by objective, rigorous evidence. For 25 years, AcademyHealth served as the national program office for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization (HCFO) grantmaking initiative and continues to manage special topic solicitations for the Foundation covering a broad array of topics.
State-University Partnership Learning Network
The State-University Partnership Learning Network (SUPLN) is an ongoing collaboration that works to facilitate peer-to-peer learning and dialogue among state-university partnerships through various ways including hosting meetings and bi-monthly web conferences with the goal of improving the cost and quality of care of the Medicaid program.
The Medicaid Outcomes Distributed Research Network (MODRN)
AcademyHealth's Evidence-Informed State Health Policy Institute supports this research network that enables participating states to harness multi-state Medicaid data to address issues of national public health importance and measure the impact of innovative policies and interventions.
The National Interoperability Collaborative
The National Interoperability Collaborative is a new initiative designed to increase collaboration among the sectors that impact health and well-being by improving information-sharing, interoperability, and use of technology.
The Role of Homelessness and Supportive Housing in Health Care Disparities among Adults in Medicaid
