At the Institute for Medicaid Innovation (IMI), we know from experience that magic happens when we bring people together to improve the nation’s Medicaid program. In that spirit, our work is informed, guided, and supported by an exceptional group of funders and national experts representing academic and non-academic research institutions, advocacy and community organizations, clinician groups, Medicaid managed care organizations, state and federal policymakers, and, most importantly, people covered by Medicaid insurance and their families.
There are a variety of ways to join us in the movement to transform Medicaid:
We regularly initiate projects to address key issues in Medicaid. From engaging in our landmark survey work, to exploring the most effective ways to improve health outcomes for individuals, families and communities across the country, join us as we collaborate with some of the nation’s leading experts in creating a better future for people covered by Medicaid.
We partner with a variety of national, local and community-based organizations to address critical issues impacting people with lived experience and those who serve them. At IMI, we know we can’t do this important work alone. If you are a potential partner organization, we invite you to reach out and explore how we can work together.
IMI solicits and gratefully accepts external support in the form of restricted and unrestricted funding for activities that are aligned with our mission, vision, strategic priorities, and values. Support can be in the form of financial or non-financial/in-kind donations.

Project-specific NACs will support projects funded by grants or contracts. They will be time-limited and will sunset once a project is completed.
