The Wisconsin Partnership Program (WPP) is working to greatly improve the health of all Wisconsin residents. Through our funding, we support public health initiatives, address health disparities, create education and training programs that prepare the next generation of health care professionals, and invest in research that addresses diverse health and health care issues.
Since 2004, WPP has funded remarkable work among researchers, educators and community organizations, such as the partnership between the Oneida Nation and the UW School of Medicine and Public Health to prevent stroke in the Oneida community.
Through community grants, WPP supports community-led partnerships and collaborations designed to improve health and advance health equity across diverse communities and geographic areas.
WPP faculty grants support innovative research to prevent, diagnose, treat and cure diseases. These grants target issues affecting Wisconsinites, including Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, diabetes, and more.
