The goal of these grants is to create a comprehensive system that improves health outcomes, promotes health equity, and reduces per-capita health costs. As such, funding will be provided to organizations that: • Take advantage of the opportunities within health reform to employ new models of shared resources and accountability for improving population health. • Systematically incentivize and reward primary prevention – for example, by reinvesting downstream health care savings in effective community prevention. • Share and use data from multiple sectors to inform strategies, measure progress and refine interventions. • Have the potential to inform practice and policy more broadly.
