PARTNERS FUNDING OPPORTUNITY<\/p>\n

\n

Goal – Advance the Overall Mission of Partners (“Helping the public health workforce find and use information effectively to improve and protect the public”s health”) by identifying and pursuing collaborations that increase access to and\/or use of evidence and evidence-based information needed to improve the quality and performance of public health agencies and systems.<\/p>\n

Funding — Funding will be available in 2009 (and likely in 2010) to support development and implementation projects that collaboratively promote the mission of Partners related to quality improvement.<\/p>\n

Estimated range of awards for development-only projects is approximately $2000-5000, for projects that would start during summer 2009 and be completed within the calendar year.<\/p>\n

Estimated range of awards for support of implementation approximately $5,000- 50,000 per year, for projects that would start by fall 2009 and be completed within 12 to 24 months.<\/p>\n

Collaboration is Key! – Priority in selections will be given to projects with participation from at least three \u00a0Partners organizations, or from at least two current and one potential\/new Partners organizations.\u00a0 Partners organizations may participate in multiple proposals and projects.<\/p>\n

Projects can be local or national, but should tackle a significant problem, and draw on the strengths, perspectives and participation of multiple Partners organizations.<\/p>\n

Proposals — Proposals should include a problem statement and identify how the collaborators will separately and collectively address the problem through the proposed project.\u00a0 Proposals should also indicate how the effectiveness of the project – its impact — would be assessed.\u00a0 The proposal should also identify the amount and anticipated sources of any additional funds\/resources needed over the requested Partners funds.<\/p>\n

Development-only projects are envisioned as activities that will require more planning or organization than can be accomplished by the due date of this proposal and\/or projects that will likely need additional funding sources\/resources beyond those of the Partners organizations involved in the proposal.<\/p>\n
