Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Announces Excellence in Cardiac Care Program for Minority Americans
Deadline: January 14, 2005 (Letter of Intent)

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (<a href="http://rwjf.org/">http://rwjf.org/</a>) has announced Expecting Success: Excellence in Cardiac Care, a new program designed to improve the quality of health care provided to minority Americans by focusing on the continuum of cardiovascular care delivered in inpatient and outpatient settings.

The program’s goals are to improve cardiovascular care for African Americans and Latinos; develop effective and replicable quality-improvement strategies, models, and resources; encourage the spread of such strategies and models to additional clinical areas; and disseminate relevant lessons to policy and provider audiences.

General acute-care hospitals or hospital consortia that serve substantial numbers of African-American and/or Latino patients with cardiovascular disease are eligible to apply.

Up to ten sites will be selected to participate in the 29-month-long collaborative "Learning Network." Each site will receive grants of $200,000 and technical assistance and training.

For complete program information and grant application procedures, see the Expecting Success Web site.
