Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), the Physicians Foundation is seeking five medical associations to develop capacity, resources, and data collection to support physicians in their understanding of Drivers of Health (DOH) and their integration of DOH into their medical practices, as part of their regular patient care.
Donor Name: The Physicians Foundation
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 09/08/2025
Size of the Grant: $10,000 to $100,000
Grant Duration: 2 Years
Details:
The top five strategies physicians reported are important to support them, and other physicians in addressing patients’ DOH are:
- Investing in community capacity to address patients’ DOH
- Investing in technological and human capacity to connect patients with community resources they need to be healthy
- Screening patients to identify social needs
- Significantly reducing existing payer reporting requirements and other administrative burdens to provide the necessary time to address DOH
- Creating financial incentives for physician-directed efforts to address DOH
This RFP is meant to identify and provide financial support to medical associations:
- who have the interest in and capacity to engage in activities of this grant program for up to two years,
- whose state’s/region’s landscape is primed for or at a critical point related to addressing DOH,
- who could recruit a group of willing and eager physicians to integrate or enhance DOH screenings and DOH-related resource navigation into their medical practices and provide feedback and data related to that DOH integration process.
Funding Information
Proposals are expected to be implemented over a period of one to two years, with a funding limit of $75,000.
Eligibility Criteria
For this RFP, the Foundation is waiving its policy that limits an organization from having only one grant at a time, though organizations with an existing DOH grant are not eligible to apply. As such, organizations that have a current active grant with the Foundation that is not focused on addressing DOH are eligible to apply.
