Greater Value Portfolio Grant

Donaghue Foundation

Grant Provider's 990

Agency: Foundation

GrantWatch ID #155209

Grant Description

Grants to USA investigators at tax-exempt research institutions for research related to healthcare. Applicants must submit an LOI prior to submitting a full application. Under this grant program, researchers will partner with healthcare service providers to test promising strategies that organizations can readily use to improve the value of the healthcare they provide to patients and communities.

In 2022, the Donaghue Foundation’s Greater Value Portfolio grant program will fund research projects for the purpose of advancing promising approaches to achieve a higher value healthcare system. The goal of this program is to test approaches and tools that organizations can readily use to improve the value of the healthcare they provide to their patients and communities.

Investigators conducting research to develop actionable solutions to one or more of these symptoms of low-value healthcare are encouraged to apply to the Greater Value Portfolio program:

  • High and rising healthcare costs
  • Unwarranted variation in prices
  • Racial and ethnic disparities in access, prices, and outcomes
  • Unaffordable cost of care burden on patients and families
  • Unacceptable variation in quality
  • Lack of transparency in both price and outcomes

Investigators conducting research to develop actionable solutions to one or more of these symptoms of low-value healthcare are encouraged to apply to the Greater Value Portfolio program.

Eligible topics include studies that focus on improving value through promising strategies using one or more of these approaches:

  • Test models of care, coverage, or system change that  seek to improve value by addressing one or more of the symptoms of low value
  • Reduce treatments, tests, and screenings for patients for whom the potential harms (including financial harm) outweigh potential benefits
  • Provide tools to help consumers make decisions about their healthcare based on value, including the cost of care to patients, in addition to other patient-centered factors
  • Promote conversations between patients and their clinicians and care teams about preferences and trade-offs related to alternative treatment options and /or out of pocket cost burden to patients and families
  • Test interventions geared to increasing equity through the provision of higher value healthcare
