2. Continuously expand the value and reach of the program by motivating:
-
- Improved data through enhanced participation from health systems
- Wide-spread adoption of reports and tools through enhanced participation from organizations helping to disseminate reports & tools
Our Story
The Neighborhood Health Partnerships Program was founded in 2019 as a part of the University of Wisconsin Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR).
With funding from the Wisconsin Partnership Program, we worked with academic, community, government, and health system stakeholders in 2019 and 2020 to build and design an infrastructure that would support our mission and goals.
In October 2020, we launched a pilot test of the program and are taking the next several months to test and learn. We will take these learnings to adapt our program, reports, and tools before a full launch of the program in fall of 2022.
Our Team
The Neighborhood Health Partnerships Program was founded with support from the Health Innovation Program, University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, and Collaborative Center for Health Equity – partners with substantial knowledge and experience in conducting and evaluating health and health equity research, advancing partnerships between researchers and users of research, and providing data and evidence to communities to help them identify opportunities to improve health and health equity. The program is currently maintained by staff from the Health Innovation Program.
