Summary
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) is requesting applications for the new State Medicaid Policy and Strategy Learning Collaborative. NASHP will select up to five states to participate in this 18-month opportunity, which will run from May 2026 to November 2027.
The collaborative will focus on supporting states with key policy decisions, cross-sector programming, and investment approaches related to the implementation of H.R.1 within broader state health priorities. Technical assistance will focus on supporting state teams with:
• Decision-making related to the Medicaid and overall state budgets
• Identifying program efficiencies and approaches to address cost drivers while maintaining program goals,
• Fostering strategic partnerships and alignment across health and human services programs impacted by H.R.1
• Communication approaches with key partners (such as legislative leads, providers and consumers)
NASHP will hold two informational webinars for interested states on Wednesday, March 11, at 2:00 p.m. and Thursday, March 12, at 1:00 p.m. Applications are due on Monday, April 6, at 8:00 p.m.
