INTRODUCING THE
QUALITY FORWARD FUND

Through the Quality Forward Fund, NCQA is driving a health care transformation that puts quality and patients first. Powered by philanthropic support, the fund accelerates solutions to today's most urgent challenges in health care quality by investing in research, consensus-building, measure development and implementation initiatives across the most critical areas of care.

Organizations that support the Quality Forward Fund help NCQA advance bold initiatives, turning promising ideas into lasting impact for patients and communities.

OUR MISSION

At NCQA, improving the quality of health care is at the heart of everything we do. The Quality Forward Fund is the next step in our mission to achieve better health outcomes for patients.

The fund fuels transformative work across the full spectrum of care—from preventing and managing chronic disease to rethinking how digital innovation and behavioral health are woven into everyday practice. Organizations that share NCQA's commitment to quality and a patient-centered health system have the opportunity to invest in mission-driven projects that will shape the future of care.

Together, we're making quality a reality for every patient.

QUALITY RESEARCH THAT POWERS BETTER OUTCOMES

The Quality Forward Fund was created to accelerate high-impact research in the areas where it matters most.

    Improving health outcomes by addressing the full spectrum of patient needs—physical, behavioral, social—and equipping health systems to deliver more coordinated, person-centered care that treats the whole patient.

  • EMPOWERING
    PATIENTS & CARE TEAMS

    Supporting care teams and patients with the tools and data they need to make informed decisions and coordinate care more effectively.

    Harnessing the growth of virtual and hybrid care models to break down barriers and expand access to behavioral health and primary care.

  • ADVANCING MEASUREMENT
    OF WHAT MATTERS MOST
