The major goal of the KPRI quality and safety grant program is to allow teams to identify and address specific quality and safety issues that cannot easily be addressed using existing operational resources or structures. The significance of all efforts must be readily apparent. Priority will be given to applications that align with the priorities established annually by the Quality Improvement Council (QIC). In addition, special consideration will be given to collaborative projects that involve multidisciplinary teams. Up to $50,000 will be committed annually. In general, the first year of funding for each proposal will be for $25,000 or less, but exceptions will be considered based if appropriately justified.

Applications for awards must be submitted electronically to mary.aiken@childrensal.org by 4:30 p.m. on April 15. Late applications will not be considered. Applications must comply with a standardized format for the application to be reviewed. 

All applications will be reviewed by a Quality Safety Proposal Review committee (QSPR). Awards will be announced after the KPRI meeting on July 1.
