Grant Applicants Survey

 In 2003, we conducted a survey of our grant applicants, aimed at understanding their experiences with our grantmaking process. By holding our own grantmaking process accountable, we hoped to gain important insight about how and where improvements could be made. We reported the results of the 2003 survey in our 2004 Annual Report: Advancing Health Policy.

In 2005, we reached out to our applicants once again to measure our progress and to find more opportunities to improve our grantmaking. Survey respondents told us that they want to hear more from us, and have more access to our staff. In addition, they indicated that they desired a more streamlined grant application process, including the ability to apply online.
