Submissions are now open for the Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program's latest Responsive component funding opportunity. The Call for Changemakers Request for Proposals is available online and is guided by the 2014-2018 AHW Five-Year Plan.

The funding supports Wisconsin-based, multi-sector, community-MCW academic coalitions or networks to work together to translate public health data and evidence into actions to pursue grassroots policy, environmental or systems change (changing the regulations, rules, priorities, protocols or practices within and across organizations and communities and/or changing the physical or material components of the community environment) that address the key determinants that most strongly influence health.

 

To help support Call for Changemaker RFP applicants on their submissions, information sessions will be held in Milwaukee at MCW with simultaneous web-based and teleconference delivery.

The sessions offer applicants the opportunity to further explore the funding opportunity, application process, and expectations of funded awards.

In addition, Maureen Busalacchi, owner of Population Health Consulting, will provide a capacity building presentation on what systems, policy and environmental change means and how to start, as well as on lobbying and advocacy - what you can and can't do.

Sessions will be offered on the following dates, and each will cover the same information:

Tuesday, May 26, 2015 from 2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

OR

Wednesday, May 27, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.
