Therefore, the organization qualifies for a charitable purpose under IRC Section 501(c)(3), the advancement of education. By conducting this activity, we assist students in furthering their own educational experiences and publication opportunities while also ensuring critical research findings are made available to the industry and broader public. In calendar year 2024 (October), two students were awarded research grants funded by Interface Health Foundation (IHF). The following milestones are tracked as the student progresses to finishing their final research paper: 1) Submission of research outline, 2) Submission of first draft, and 3) Submission of final paper. The grant payments are made in segments as the student finishes the required project milestones. The payment for each milestone is 5%, 45% and 50% of the total grant payment, respectively. In calendar year 2024, one of the student grantees finished her outline and therefore was awarded the outline milestone payment. This particular student is researching the following topic: Pricing transparency in healthcare. The other 2024 grantee is in the process of researching the following topic: The impact of inpatient, acute care nursing ratio legislation in various states. It is expected that both of these 2024 student grantees' full research papers will be completed in 2025. The grantees' research projects are in alignment with IHF's mission: to empower and support student-led research endeavors that shed light on critical healthcare policy and structural issues affecting the public. Through our initiatives, we seek to foster a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics shaping the healthcare landscape. 252 0 0 John Fox President/Director 8 0 0 0 Jane Jordan Secretary/Director 2.00 0 0 0 Susan Grant Treasurer/Director 4.00 0 0 0 Corinne Foote Key Employee/Executive Director 20.00 28001 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 GA Corinne Foote PO Box 95 Birmingham MI 48012 2489776056 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 54300 50000 104300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 54300 50000 104300 104300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 104300 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 2024 was IHF's first year and numerous students have applied for grants for 2025 which are in various stages of review and award notifications.
