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.
Projects that will be considered for Pfizer support will include a curriculum of virtual activities intended to improve the knowledge and competency of healthcare professionals (HCPs) that treat rheumatologic conditions regarding the mechanisms that drive the development of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Treatment strategies for these conditions continue to advance rapidly in response to the changing needs of providers and patients.
Programs that leverage engaging virtual technologies will be considered as Pfizer is committed to supporting HCPs and patients during this time of limited travel, limited in-person education opportunities, and increased number of telehealth interactions.
It is our hope that by increasing the HCP community overall knowledge of the treatment landscape, including timely diagnosis, mechanism of action, and care management through virtual technology and patient engagement, there will be improved outcomes for patients. Focus may include the patient journey, i.e.: perspective from diagnosis to ongoing disease management.
