Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation: Hillman Emergent Innovation Program

  • April 27, 2020

Image result for rita and alex hillman foundation logoThe Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of patients and their families through nursing-driven innovation. To this end, the Foundation cultivates nurse leaders, supports nursing research, and promotes new models of care that are critical to making the U.S. healthcare system more patient-centered, accessible, equitable, and affordable.

The Hillman Emergent Innovation Program provides grants to accelerate the development of bold, nursing-driven interventions targeting the needs of vulnerable populations. The Foundation is seeking creative, early stage (pre-evidence or untested) innovations that target health and healthcare problems in new ways.

Priority consideration will be given to proposals that include one or more of the following:

  • engagement of patients, families, caregivers, and/or community organizations;
  • inter-professional or multidisciplinary collaboration;
  • institutional and community partnerships;
  • provision of care in non-hospital settings; and,
  • measurable goals and outcomes.

The Foundation encourages applications from a broad range of institutions, care settings, and practitioners (including postdocs, adjunct faculty, and interdisciplinary faculty). The Foundation believes that transformative ideas are as likely to come from small community care settings as they are from major academic research centers. Faith-based organizations that welcome and serve all members of the community regardless of religious belief are also eligible to apply.

This annual program, a complement to the Hillman Innovations in Care initiative, will award up to five one-year grants of $50,000 each.

Grants are not provided to/for:

  • white papers, literature reviews, or support for publishing;
  • capital projects or improvements;
  • basic science or research;
  • interventions with an established evidence base; or,
  • projects outside the United States and its territories.
