Submitted: 6/4/2008 12:00:00 AM

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation -- Maximizing Enrollment for Kids: Making Medicaid and SCHIP Work

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Maximizing Enrollment for Kids: Making Medicaid and SCHIP Work initiative aims to increase enrollment and retention of eligible children in Medicaid and SCHIP by helping states streamline their systems, policies and procedures, and to measure the impact of these changes.

Up to eight states will receive grants, with only one grant awarded per state, including the District of Columbia. Grants of up to $1 million over a four-year period will be awarded, along with technical assistance. Eligible applicants include state agencies or offices designated by the governor. Applicants must: 1) demonstrate commitment from the state's executive branch leadership—including a letter of support from the governor—to increase enrollment and retention of eligible children in public programs; 2) commit to participate in all program activities, including enrollment and retention system assessments, technical assistance and peer-to-peer learning; 3) commit to collect and share data with the program on a regular basis to monitor progress toward mutually agreed upon benchmarks; and 4) demonstrate cooperation and participation of state and local agencies with responsibilities related to enrollment and retention of children.

Deadline: June 24, 2008 (Registration to apply)

Please Note: The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools (CHHCS) does not administer this funding opportunity.
