The Pioneer Portfolio is powering ideas to transform health. We accelerate the trajectory of innovation by investing in visionary thinkers, supporting exploration and helping great ideas to gain momentum. Pioneer focuses on the future, seeking breakthroughs with the potential to generate significant health and social impact.
Pioneer addresses the fact that progress toward solving tough health and health care problems often has been too slow or limited in scope. Through this portfolio, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has dedicated staff and financial resources to invest in trends and ideas with the potential for exponential change. We work with innovators who often look at the world differently—those who reframe problems and the pathways to solutions in order to create a significantly better health and health care future for all Americans. We see possibility in unconventional approaches and remain open to untested models, new connections, risk and failure. To advance these ideas, Pioneer offers financial support, strategic counsel and opportunities to work with others who share our passion for change and our impatience with incremental gains.
