Through health education and development, Johnson & Johnson aims to build skills and health literacy among a broad range of people serving community health needs, ultimately increasing community support, involvement and leadership in the public health arena. In keeping with this strategy, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) working in conjunction with the Society for the Arts in Healthcare, seeks to engage community healthcare workers, caregivers, families and artists in the practice of arts in healthcare.
In 2008, the grant structure was updated to a three-year grant period with a focus on existing programs. This new structure promotes the evaluation and replication of promising models in order to strengthen and expand the arts in healthcare field. Programs proposed for the grant must be existing and active for a minimum of three years and have demonstrated a high potential for replication. Through an annual review for continuation, awarded organizations replicate, document and disseminate their program nationally and/or internationally over a three-year grant period:
- Sites complete a program implementation plan and evaluation report
- Sites replicate programs through partnerships and professional exchange
- Sites convene to present findings to appropriate national/international and/or professional organizations
The goal of this grant is to impact the level of engagement in the arts in healthcare through a 3-phase program:
Phase 1
In the first phase, organizations complete a program implementation plan and an evaluation report. Grantees plan to replicate a model program (either of their own design or from the field) by evaluating the program or verifying previous evaluation information and securing partners for replication.
Phase 2
In the second phase, organizations and their partners implement and evaluate the replicated model programs, resulting in an increased number of community members engaged in evidence-based arts in healthcare practices.
Phase 3
In the final phase, grantees will document evidence-based program models and disseminate this information to a wider audience. Grantees present findings to appropriate national/international and/or professional organizations.
