More About HSC | Supporting RWJF's Mission

...informing and supporting

long with other grantees, HSC informs the research and program activities at RWJF, helping to support the Foundation’s overall mission to improve the health and health care of all Americans. HSC is a major component of RWJF’s Health Tracking initiative, which features a network of research organizations studying various facets of the changing health care system at the national and local levels. Specifically, HSC’s research contributes to understanding what is working well in the American health care system and what is failing, both at the national level and in communities across the country.

The Foundation concentrates grant-making support in three broad areas: access to care, substance abuse and chronic care. These also are areas covered by the network of organizations associated with HSC’s Community Tracking Study (see p. 11). To accomplish its overall goals, RWJF supports research and evaluation, training and education, program demonstrations and communications.

James Knickman, vice president for evaluation and research, and Robert Hughes, vice president, initiated the network of organizations focused on tracking change and nurtured its development over the last six years. Both continue to play a leadership role with respect to the research network. Along with them, Maureen Michael, program officer, provides leadership to the project and is responsible for managing the network day to day. Paul Tarini, senior communications officer, provides public affairs counsel to the project, and Rona Henry, senior financial officer, provides financial oversight. HSC is among the many projects under RWJF’s Health Care Group led by Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, M.D., senior vice president and director.
