WHA Awarded Grant Focusing on Strategies to Address Burnout
Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment (AHW) is funding 31 projects in 2023 selected through a competitive application process focused on promising biomedical research and community-based initiatives aimed at improving the health and well-being of Wisconsin residents.
Of the 40 proposals submitted, AHW’s three oversight bodies—Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Consortium on Public and Community Health, AHW Research and Education Advisory Committee, and MCW Board of Trustees—awarded funding to 31 proposals including 17 research projects and 14 community-based initiatives focused on improving health and advancing health equity across Wisconsin and within specific communities.
WHA’s community-based proposal submission “Health and Well-Being Environmental Assessment for Lasting Healthcare Workforce Resiliency in Wisconsin” (HEALtHy WI) will focus on completing an environmental assessment to identify current tools, resources and models of well-being that currently exist and identify gaps that will identify and bring forward strategies aimed at eliminating workforce burnout and promote well-being.
