Wisconsin State Planning Grant
Research Activities and Grant Projects

On September 21, 2000, Wisconsin was awarded a $1.3 million State Planning Grant (SPG) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources Services Administration, to study the state's uninsured population.

In Wisconsin, these funds have supported new research that will provide the analytical framework to develop program models that could provide access to coverage for the remaining uninsured in our state.

The Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services administers the grant.

Please read the Overview paper, dated September 20, 2001 for additional information.
