Proposal Reviewers Needed By Medical College of Wisconsin's Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program

Deadline: July 30, 2004

The Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program (HWPP) is looking for individuals with experience and expertise in community health improvement and community-academic partnerships to conduct a detailed merit review of proposals submitted to HWPP's request for proposals.

In April 2004, HWPP released its first request for proposals for health-promoting partnerships between communities and medical school faculty at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The HWPP is a component of the Blue Cross Blue Shield United of Wisconsin conversion endowment fund established at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Reviewers are being sought from across North America and from a wide range of organizations, including but not limited to:

  • citizen groups, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and healthcare organizations;
  • colleges and universities, with an emphasis on medical schools and other health professional schools;
  • federal, state, and local governments;
  • Native American tribal governments, tribes, or tribal organizations;
  • scientific or professional associations; and
  • voluntary associations, foundations, and civic groups.

The selected reviewers will have a unique opportunity to apply their experience and expertise, enjoy an intellectual challenge and network with colleagues while assisting an important new endowment fund to invest its resources wisely in community-academic partnerships that improve the health of Wisconsin's residents. The reviews will take place between September and December 2004.

Reviewers must live and work outside of Wisconsin and must have prior grant review experience to be considered. The deadline to apply is July 30, 2004.
