Acknowledgements
Research for this toolkit began in fall 2015 with generous support provided by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in Princeton, New Jersey. We would particularly like to thank our program officers: Amy Slonim, Melissa Nahm and Paul Tarini, who have been a sounding board throughout this process and thoughtful partners in steering us toward developing a better tool. Much thanks, too, to Emily Gardner at Spitfire Communications whose experience and feedback has enabled us to more effectively communicate this important work.
Thank you to our Democracy Collaborative colleagues who provided critical input, design support and time, and without whose leadership in this area over the years this work would not have been possible: Ted Howard, John Duda, Steve Dubb, Marjorie Kelly, Alexandra Rudzinski, and Thomas Hanna.
We are grateful to the many healthcare practitioners and leaders that took time from their busy schedules to share their knowledge fully and provide their feedback and input in reviewing drafts of this toolkit. In addition, we appreciate the time and energy of those who served on our advisory committee, guiding us in the right direction to create a strengthened resource for the field.
