Support for the Federal-State Implementation Project, Phase 4

The Federal-State Implementation Project (F-SIP) was launched in July 2010 to coordinate nongovernmental research efforts with the work of federal agencies around the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). By convening small, invitation-only meetings for federal officials, researchers, advocates, and funders, F-SIP has successfully created ongoing channels of communication between these groups and greater coordination of efforts to support implementation of the ACA. In the coming year, F-SIP will continue to engage various stakeholders, convene at least six strategic conversations, identify unmet research needs, and coordinate the efforts of federal officials, researchers, policy stakeholders, and funders.
