CareFusion Foundation Announces Grant Program to Support Infection Prevention at Healthcare Organizations

The CareFusion Foundation has announced the launch of the Clinical Excellence Grant program, a new funding initiative designed to help identify and share infection prevention best practices across hospitals and healthcare facilities in the United States.

The foundation is inviting grant proposals aimed at improving infection prevention. The foundation will award a total of $500,000 in one-time grants of up to $50,000 to eligible nonprofit healthcare institutions to help fund clinical programs that improve infection prevention practices or outcomes.

Grants will be awarded to programs that either 1) Help implement measurable clinical initiatives to improve infection prevention practices, protocols, or outcomes within a healthcare setting; or 2) Support hospital-led patient education or outreach related to infection prevention within the hospital's local community. Preference will be given to programs that can be measured for impact and that demonstrate scalability and potential to be shared as a best practice.

The grant program is open to all U.S.-based nonprofit healthcare institutions.

The foundation will not support requests for any capital/building expenses, fundraisers, general operations, continuing education, scholarships, or entertainment functions.

Complete program guidelines, eligibility requirements, and application instructions are available at the CareFusion Web site.
