Medical-Legal Partnership Funding Program
The goal of the Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP) Funding Program is to provide financial support for the development and expansion of burgeoning and active partnerships between healthcare providers and lawyers in clinical sites across the country. In particular, the Partnership Funding Program supports the establishment of a sustainable network of medical-legal partnerships focused on promoting the health and well-being of vulnerable populations by ensuring that their basic needs for housing, nutrition, health care, education, and safety and stability are met.
2007-2008 MLP Funding Grant Awards
In November 2006, during our first funding cycle, seed grants were awarded to fifteen partnerships sites to support start-up activities for nascent partnerships and cultivate best practices among existing sites. MLPC’s investment of grants totaling $425,000 leveraged $3.2 million for medical-legal partnership nationwide.
2008-2009 MLP Funding Grant Awards
Applications for the second funding cycle were due September 6th and awards will be announced December 10, 2007. The second request for proposals focused specifically on regional collaboration, physician engagement, and innovation in a core area of capacity and sustainability, evaluation, systemic advocacy or training and education.
