Small Grants for Efficiency of Practice

Stressed physician

The Johns Hopkins Medicine Office of Well-Being is pleased to offer a small grant/practice innovation program to redesign systems to help decrease the burdens that get in the way of joy in health care.

Clinician burnout is recognized as an occupational syndrome driven, and also mediated by conditions in the work environment*. Design approaches that address burdensome workflows, low value tasks, and redundant efforts in our daily work can advance clinician well-being, and by extension, the well-being of the organization**.

Applications closed March 2023. Please check back for news of our grantees' work!

This program is funded by a generous gift from ManTech Corporation.
