NJHI
National Program Office
New Jersey Health Initiatives (NJHI) is a statewide
grantmaking program of the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation. The NJHI program office is located
on the Camden campus of Rutgers, The State University
of New Jersey. This program office is funded through
a grant to the Rutgers Institute of Health, Health
Care Policy and Aging Research.
New
Jersey Health Initiatives supports advancement
in health services delivery, improvement in health
and the expansion of leadership expertise through
grantmaking across the State of New Jersey. To
meet the many health needs of our state's diverse
populations, regions and communities, the NJHI
program encourages improvement and collaboration
in health service programs, delivery systems,
provider arrangements and financing mechanisms.
NJHI's
mission mirrors that of the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation in seeking to improve the health and
health care of all New Jerseyans.
The NJHI grantmaking program has multiple components:
- Responsive Grantmaking
The
Foundation and NJHI support a broad range
of community-based service demonstration projects
corresponding to RWJF's
interest areas . Projects funded through
NJHI are generally three years in duration,
and proposals are submitted annually through
a call for proposals issued by the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation.
The
call for proposals for NJHI 2008 will be released
in Fall 2007.
NJHI is a competitive grants program.
- Strategic Grantmaking
This
NJHI program component emphasizes proactive
grantmaking, with the first grants awarded
in 2003. Nine grants awarded under the NJHI
Workforce Agenda addressed shortages
in two critical segments of the health care
workforce: registered nurses in the hospital
setting and paraprofessionals in long-term
care institutions and home health care settings.
In
June 2007, NJHI awarded its second cohort of strategic
grants, focusing on disparities in care and
health status for ethnic and cultural minorities
in our state. Ten grants awarded under NJHI Expecting Success: Excellence in Cardiac Care concentrate
on improving the quality of care provided at
hospitals that serve a large number of minority
patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease.

- Health Management and Leadership
Program
This
initiative focuses on developing a network of
leaders from a wide range of health disciplines
and organizations to enhance and strengthen
the network of providers and to impact regional
and statewide health policy and program development.
This is facilitated through training and education
programs that provide management, financial
and strategic skills to leaders of community-based
health and service provider agencies.

grantees is available by clicking on the Current
