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 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 practice gaps as outlined in the specific RFP.
Projects to be considered for Pfizer support will focus on understanding healthcare disparities among underrepresented populations in AD and/or AA patients with a special emphasis on improving care standards, healthcare resources access and utilization.
Examples include: Access to dermatologist-led care, access to appropriate therapies and monitoring, assessing appropriate topical/systemic steroid utilization, ER/Urgent care use, and healthcare maintenance (vaccination, laboratory monitoring, cancer prevention, smoking cessation and/or behavioral health).
Projects which aim to improve care standards and entail systematic and continuous actions able to demonstrate measurable outcomes via methodologically rigorous methods will be given the highest priority.
Priority will also be given to projects that address patients who are part of a medically underserved population; defined as patients who have experienced health and/or healthcare system disparities secondary to social determinants of health.
