Pfizer Global Medical Grants (GMG) and BioNTech support the global healthcare community’s independent research initiatives to improve patient outcomes in areas of unmet medical need that are aligned with our medical and/or scientific strategies.
The 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 review process to make final grant decisions. Organizations may submit an application addressing the research areas as outlined in the specific RFP.
For all Investigator Sponsored Research (ISRs) and general research grants, the grant requester (and ultimately the grantee) is responsible for the design, implementation, sponsorship, and conduct of the independent initiative supported by the grant, including compliance with any regulatory requirements. Pfizer and BioNTech must not be involved in any aspect of study protocol or project development, nor the conduct or monitoring of the research program.
