 The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation through its Community-State Partnerships to Improve End-of-Life Care program provided funding for this project. The grantee, Kentucky Hospital Research and Education Foundation, raised additional funds and provided staffing for the project in-kind. Faculty resources were received in-kind from Hospice and Palliative Care of Louisville and Hospice of the Bluegrass. Kentucky Association of Homes and Services for the Aging provided invaluable assistance with introductions and facilitation of survey instruments to their representatives.
