Promoting Wellness, Health and Aetna Foundation Leads Coalition to Launch Study of Health Care Quality in Connecticut The Aetna Foundation and four other Connecticut-based, health-focused foundations are sponsoring a survey of Connecticut residents to paint a clearer picture of the state of health care in their home state. More than 4,000 adults will be polled in the spring of 2012 to give a patient perspective on their health, doctors and access to care. The research, modeled on similar national surveys such as the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, will be the first of its kind in Connecticut to examine patient views of health care at the state and county levels. Results are expected in early 2013 in a report entitled, “The State of Health for the State of Connecticut.” The University of Massachusetts Medical School’s Center for Health Policy and Research has been tapped to conduct the $379,000 study. Working with the Aetna Foundation are the Connecticut Health Foundation, the Donaghue Foundation, the Foundation for Community Health, and the Universal Health Care Foundation of Connecticut. More information can be found in our news release. November 15 Deadline to Submit Grant Proposals for National, Regional Grants Grant seekers who have been invited to submit a full proposal through the Aetna Foundation’s National Grants program should submit their full proposal application by 12:00 Midnight, Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, November 15, unless they have been given a different deadline by one of the Foundation’s program officers. Applicants seeking funding through the Aetna Foundation's Regional Grants program (typically $50,000 or less) should submit their applications online by November 15 to be considered this year. Requests received after November 15 will be reviewed in early 2012. Letters of Inquiry and sponsorship requests will continue to be reviewed on a rolling basis through the end of 2011.
