Description

The Greater Value Portfolio (GVP) grant program from The Donaghue Foundation funds research that advances practical, scalable solutions for achieving a higher-value healthcare system in the U.S. Projects should develop and test approaches, tools, or interventions that healthcare organizations can implement to improve the quality, efficiency, and fairness of care for patients and communities. The program prioritizes research that addresses symptoms of low-value care, such as high costs, unwarranted pricing variations, health disparities, excessive financial burden, inconsistent quality, and lack of transparency. Proposals must demonstrate potential to modify care models, reduce unnecessary treatments, support informed decision-making, foster transparent patient-provider communication, and promote equitable, high-quality care. Consideration of health equity impacts across racial, ethnic, and gender lines is required.
