Call for Proposals-State Health Access Reform Evaluation (SHARE)
A Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Initiative
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, through the new State Health Access Reform Evaluation (SHARE) National Program, is issuing a call for proposals to support research and evaluation of state reform initiatives that focus on health care access. This solicitation is in support of the Foundation's activities to increase health care coverage and to evaluate reform efforts in a systematic way. The State Health Access Data Assistance Center (SHADAC) is managing the solicitation in its role as the National Program Office for the SHARE initiative.
Application Procedure
Grants will be awarded through a call for proposals that will be open to all qualified applicants. Larger-scale grants of up to $600,000 and smaller-scale grants under $200,000 will be awarded. Larger-scale projects should be structured to run between 12 and 24 months, while smaller-scale projects should run between 12 and 18 months. The application process will take place in two stages.
