Sponsor: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Deadline: April 28, 2004

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (<a href="http://www.rwjf.org/">http://www.rwjf.org/</a>) has issued a Call for Proposals for Paths to Recovery – Round II.

Paths to Recovery is a $9.5 million initiative designed to strengthen the addiction treatment system’s ability to successfully use process-improvement techniques toward increasing patient’s access to and retention in addiction treatment programs. This initiative is intended to enhance significantly the use of process-improvement techniques that have been proven successful in other settings. These techniques encourage a deeper understanding of patient’s needs; a restructuring of work flow to better respond to those needs and make the most efficient use of available resources; and the institution of measurements that allow continuous monitoring and improvement of these care processes. The lessons learned from the initiative will be a critical resource for the addiction-treatment systems’ long-term health goals of increasing access to quality care.

Up to $2 million is available in this second round of funding, with a total of fifteen to twenty grants to be awarded. Preference will be given to a variety of addiction treatment providers that can demonstrate the capacity to influence the admission and engagement process on multiple levels of care for at least one hundred admissions per year.

For the complete Call for Proposals and an online application form, see the RWJF Web site.
