SHARE (State Health Access Reform Evaluation)

About SHARE

Welcome to State Health Access Reform Evaluation (SHARE), a $7 million National Program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation created to support evaluations of health policy reform at the state level and to develop an evidence-based resource to inform future state health reform efforts. The SHARE Program began in December 2006 and will run four years, awarding $5.4 million in grant funding over that term.

SHARE was developed in response to increased state legislative activity to address health care access concerns. Program goals include:

  • To help develop a coordinated approach to the evaluation of current state health reform efforts.
  • To identify and fill gaps in research.
  • To organize and disseminate meaningful, user-friendly findings for state policy makers, state agencies, and researchers.
