WSW Secures Significant Funding Through the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation
In Brief
- WSW achieved a perfect record across every competitive round of CMMI's Health Care Innovation Challenge — one of the most competitive grant programs in federal healthcare policy.
- WSW's approach goes beyond grant writing, encompassing opportunity identification, application strategy, and coordinated congressional outreach to maximize the probability of success.
- The two awards combined to deliver $13.9 million in federal investment directly to the communities WSW's clients serve.
Congress created the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) in 2010 to test models that improve care, lower costs, and better align payment systems to support patient-centered practices. WSW was able to secure Health Care Innovation Challenge Awards funding for two separate clients during each competitive round of funding. The awards, totaling $3.7 million and $10.2 million, were the result of our team identifying the funding opportunity, meticulously preparing the application to make the most compelling argument possible, and assisting each client with outreach for support from Congress.
