Abstract

In an era when health policymaking is a cacophony of conflicting agendas and the media's focus is constantly
shifting, how does a private foundation that is committed to producing valuable health policy information place that
material into the hands of people most in need of it? And what measures should a foundation employ to
determine whether its communication efforts are achieving this effect? These questions have become more
important for a number of foundations that award most of their grants for health‐related purposes and have
concluded that providing information to health policymakers and the media should be a major priority of their
organization.
