Overview
Information for Grant Seekers:
HealthForce Minnesota is a collaborative partnership of education, industry and community that was created to transform health care education and delivery. We explore and develop new collaborative models that integrate health science education and practice, and have the potential for sustainability. One of the strategies we employ is providing grant opportunities. The organization uses grants much like venture capital, with a long-term goal that HealthForce Minnesota share in the return on investment.
HealthForce Minnesota looks forward to funding projects that spur innovation, have the potential for significant regional, statewide, or national impact, and include leveraged resources in the form of both in-kind and cash contributions.
Over the past six years, we have supported dozens of projects that test new and innovative ways of improving healthcare practice, education, and research.
