This is a team assignment. In this assignment, your team will demonstrate its knowledge of health information and communication technologies that provide accessible and quality health care to diverse populations (underrepresented minorities, English as a second language [ESL], incarcerated, elderly, homeless) and communities (inner city, rural, medically underserved) by writing a proposal no longer than 8 pages.

A wealthy benefactor has established a new center, The FNP Breakthrough Foundation, and as a first step will fund two innovative FNP projects that provide accessible health care to a population in need. This foundation was formed from the benefactor’s fortune with his wife, an RN. Their sizable wealth was made in the technology sector. The goal of the foundation is to harness the power of technology to bring health care to communities in need. The foundation modeled this call for proposals from the Robert Wood Johnson’s Pioneer Program Area that funds “innovators whose bold ideas push beyond conventional thinking to explore solutions at the cutting edge of health and healthcare.” The call for Step 1—brief proposals—has been issued today.
