The Wisconsin Partnership Program (WPP) received an overwhelming response to its 2010 Request for Partnerships (RfP) through the Community-Academic Partnership Fund. This year, a combined 113 applicants filed notices of intent and letters of interest by the June 18, 2010 deadline.
Following a technical and content review, the Oversight and Advisory Committee (OAC) invited 31 proposals - 12 implementation grants and 19 development grants - to submit full applications.
These 31 proposals best adhered to the Wisconsin Partnership Program's priorities as laid out in the Request for Partnerships.
In addition, these projects incorporated the strongest evidence base, taking proven interventions and seeking to apply them to Wisconsin's most pressing health needs.
Here is a list of the proposals that were invited to proceed. The Oversight and Advisory Committee expects to make final award decisions in December, 2010.
