2012 Grant Program

The application deadline for 2012 grants has passed. The application deadline for 2013 grants will be in October 2012. Check back for details.

The Wisconsin Medical Society Foundation focuses on providing support for physician-led, community-based programs to improve health through education and outreach. We will support primarily high-impact, high visibility programs that support the Foundation’s mission.

Funding preference is given for initiatives that:

• Promote changes to modifiable factors affecting health
• Are new or innovative
• Focus on prevention
• Are well-defined and reasonable to be accomplished within the grant period
• Have a plan to become self-sustaining, if multi-year
• Promote collaborations/partnerships
• Incorporate principles of public health
• Offer the Foundation an opportunity to truly make a difference

The Foundation also offers some funds for supporting medical outcomes research including data collection and/or interpretation and for physician education.

The Foundation gives preferential consideration to those applications that include personal involvement and a letter of recommendation from a physician member of the Wisconsin Medical Society confirming the needs to be addressed in the proposal as well as credentials of the individuals and organizations involved and their ability to address these needs.

Applications are reviewed by the Grant Committee with final approval by the Wisconsin Medical Society Foundation Board of Trustees. For more information on the Grant Program, contact Eileen Wilson, program coordinator, at 608.442.3722 or toll-free at 866.442.3800.
