Description
Request for Proposals (RFP)
Establishing Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) Centres of Excellence to Improve Patient Outcomes by Addressing Access Disparities
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 specific area of interest, sets timelines for review and approval, and uses an expert review panel (ERP) to make final grant decisions. Organizations are invited to submit an application addressing the specific gaps in practice as outlined in the specific RFP.
The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherpay (BSAC) is a learned professional organisation providing a portfolio of global education on infection related topics and a leading influencer of responsible antimicrobial use globally.
For all AMS grants, the grant requester (and ultimately the grantee) is responsible for the submission of requested information, engagement with the AMS accreditation process and implementation of identified improvement actions supported by the grant. Pfizer must not and will not be involved in any aspect of project development, nor the conduct or monitoring of the AMS accreditation process.
