Johnson & Johnson/Society for the Arts in Healthcare Partnership to Promote Arts in Healing Grants
Deadline: August 16, 2006 (Letters of Intent)

Johnson & Johnson (<a href="http://www.jnj.com/">http://www.jnj.com/</a>), working in conjunction with the Society for the Arts in Healthcare (<a href="http://thesah.org/">http://thesah.org/</a>), seeks to promote the use of the arts to enhance the healthcare experience for patients, their families, and caregivers.

Proposals are being sought from healthcare organizations and/or arts agencies working in partnership to produce innovative projects to serve patients, their families, and caregivers in healthcare settings to promote healing and preventative health. J&J/SAH projects may be located in a variety of settings, including clinics, hospitals, hospices, medical schools, public health services, or other community health programs.

The range of grant projects is intended to be broad and highly innovative. Preference will be given to projects that are new initiatives and have the potential to be replicated. In addition to projects serving broad patient populations and healthcare providers, a portion of grant funds will be reserved for arts programs serving those living with HIV/AIDS, their families, and/or caregivers.

From 2001 to 2005, Johnson & Johnson and the Society for the Arts in Healthcare have provided funding to 81 programs in the U.S. and Canada that represent leading models and initiatives in high quality healthcare through the use of arts.
