Pfizer Global Medical Grants (GMG) supports the global healthcare community’s independent initiatives (e.g., research, quality improvement, or education) to improve patient outcomes in areas of unmet medical need that are aligned with Pfizer’s medical and/or scientific strategies. Pfizer’s GMG competitive grant program involves a publicly posted general Request for Proposal (RFP) that provides detail regarding a general area of interest, sets timelines for review and approval, and uses an internal Pfizer review process to make final grant decisions. Organizations are invited to submit an application addressing the knowledge gaps as outlined in the specific RFP.
It is our intent to provide an independent grant(s) to an organization or organizations that will focus on the management of metabolic disorders’ risks that drive liver disease outcomes and increase cardiovascular risk in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Projects that will be considered for Pfizer support will focus on:
• Innovative treatment approaches to reduce the risk of, slow or prevent progression to severe liver outcomes such as advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, or liver transplant
• Understanding the linkage of NAFLD/NASH and cardiovascular disease in patients with NASH
• Understanding the contribution of NAFLD/NASH to overall morbidity and mortality risks
The submitted proposals should aim to inform the scientific and clinical community and to advance the discussion around management of liver and cardiovascular outcomes in NASH.
• Grant Application due date: June 15, 2021
