Community Review and Funders’ Feedback Part 2

Community Review and Funders’ Feedback Part 2

Leaders from organizations that fund health care research offered reactions to the concepts from the small group sessions. Moderator Elizabeth McGlynn, PhD, Vice President for Kaiser Permanente Research, moderated the session, and began by noting common themes among the groups related to the use of data and measures, infrastructure and new ways of looking at the workforce.

Arlene Bierman, MD, MS, the Director of the Center for Evidence and Practice Improvement at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, noted the importance of listening to the community, developing sustainable programs, and building the evidence base for scalable interventions to achieve health equity.

Don Schwarz, MD, Senior Vice President at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, spoke about the difference and occasional tension in public health between local private and public actions and national policy action, and commented about the small groups’ efforts to navigate this tension.

Daniel Yang, MD, a Program Officer at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, noted the changed climate in which the groups were developing these ideas. Rather than engaging in pilot testing of new concepts, he said, the urgency of COVID and the changes it has prompted both enable and require testing ideas at a larger scale.
