Dr. Jennifer Lundblad

So again, we're a small organization.

So trying to get out there and reach all people is only done with and through the collaborative partnerships that we have, because we have a much bigger and bolder mission and vision than we can do on our own.

So I would say collaboration is the core answer to that question.

We're trying to reach out and be in collaboration with others, both to do our work and

and to share, disseminate, and invite those opportunities for future engagement.

So it's a mix.

It's some...

From the federal agencies of health and human services.

So the agencies that your listeners might be familiar with, including CMS or the Medicare and Medicaid agency, the CDC, the Centers for Disease Control, SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

We're doing a lot of work in the

substance use and opioid use space right now.

And HRSA, the Health Resources and Services Administration.

So sometimes that's direct with those agencies.

And sometimes we're working with them through a partner.

We do work for state health departments across the country.

We do some work for state Medicaid agencies across the country.

And sometimes health systems or health plans hire us directly to do the work.

So at any given time, we probably have

25 or 30 funded projects from 10 or 20 different funders some of them are multi-year multi-million some of them are very small very focused just for a month or two a very short-term project so it's a it's a real range of where we get our funding the thing that's consistent across all of them it's kind of mission aligned where's our expertise and as I said a moment ago it's often done in collaboration and partnership with others

I welcome those ideas, Clarence.
