HealthSpark Foundation will soon begin accepting grant applications for pilot projects through its Innovation Lab. The Innovation Lab, part of the foundation’s Safety Net Resiliency Initiative, seeks to advance community learning and includes two short-term goals:
- Safety net system providers increasingly collaborate to achieve impact through strategic, intentional and system realignment; and
- Providers achieve improved and more holistic understanding of consumers and changing county demographics to improve the system's responsiveness, build momentum and shift public narrative about the system.
Innovation Lab Description
This Innovation Lab is a virtual experience supporting pilot testing and/or pilot projects that are:
- Relatively small scale in terms of time and budget;
- Support preliminary efforts to evaluate feasibility, time, cost, adverse events and
- Designed to inform and improve upon the project design elements prior to seeking capital necessary to support a full-scale implementation, if warranted.
