NIHCM Foundation Seeks Letters of Inquiry for Investigator-Initiated Health Services Research Grants

The National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM) Foundation is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to improving the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of the U.S. healthcare system. Since 2012, the foundation has awarded forty-six grants totaling nearly $2.6 million in support of innovative health services research in the areas of healthcare financing, delivery, management, and policy.

This year, NIHCM is making a total of $1 million available across its research and journalism grant programs based on the merits of the proposals received. (Information about journalism grant applications will be announced separately later in June.)

Priority will be given to research studies that address issues of broad significance for the U.S. healthcare system and that have high potential to produce timely results and reach key audiences. Expected project impact is paramount.

Applications from individual researchers as well as from all types of organizations and institutions, including both nonprofit and for-profit entities, are encouraged. Multiple submissions are permitted from a single researcher, organization, or university department.

Brief letters of inquiry (LOIs) are due June 29. Ten-page proposals will be requested from a small number of applicants in September. Funded projects are expected to begin in January 2021.

For complete program guidelines, application instructions, and information about past grantees, see the NIHCM Foundation website.

Deadline: June 29, 2020 (Letters of Intent)
