What kinds of projects does HCFO fund?
We fund innovative research and policy analysis, evaluation, and demonstration projects that will produce information that is useful for policymakers regarding major changes in health care financing. We hope to stimulate projects that: (1) examine the effects of current mechanisms for, and proposed major changes in, the financing of health services on health care costs, access, and quality; and (2) develop and test new ways to finance care that have the potential to improve access to more affordable and higher quality health services. Ultimately, we hope the results of these projects will be timely and useful for policymakers, both public and private.
