Pfizer Request for Proposals: Global Medical Grants and Stanford Medicine
Pfizer requests for proposals for its Global Medical Grants and Stanford Medicine to provide grants to strengthen the capabilities of the patient community by providing mentorship and training on conducting patient-partnered research to facilitate increased opportunities for collaboration between patients and academic-research communities.
The collaboration will aim to empower patients and healthcare teams to work as teams for the prevention, treatment, or early detection of disease. Making research equitable and collaborative through cooperation and mentoring provides reallife disease experience, clinical knowledge and research methods together with the reality of disease, as no one knows a disease better than a patient who experiences the disease effects on a daily basis.
Eligibility:
- Geographic scope: United States, Canada and Europe
- Target audience: patients, caregivers, patient organizations, professional societies, and academic research centers.
Proposals in response to this RFP should address the following objectives:
- Foster collaboration with expert publishers and institutions to advance and accelerate efforts that provide training, best practices, and tools to support the patient community in research methodologies and publication strategies.
- Enable patient advocacy organizations and patients to collaborate with the research community in the design and implementation, analysis, and publication of research to incorporate the patient voice and experience directly.
- Increase healthcare provider and researcher understanding and awareness about the role of the patient community in patient-involved research to help ensure pathways for prioritizing and disseminating patient led research.
Individual projects requesting up to $20,000 USD will be considered. The estimated total available budget related to this RFP is $300,000 USD.
