Supporting Ongoing Medical Education
Ongoing education allows healthcare professionals (HCPs) to deliver care based on the latest advances in medicine. Gilead supports high-impact continuing medical education programs that expand the knowledge and skills of HCPs. There are two funding pathways: Independent Medical Education (IMED) and Medical-Scientific.
Independent Medical Education Funding
We support medical education programs that are independent of Gilead’s influence and aligned to our therapeutic areas of interest and educational priorities, including:
- Education targeting HCPs
- Conference support and coverage
- Satellite symposia
- Online, live and multimode educational programs
- Quality improvement programs
- Patient education
Grantee Eligibility
For-profit medical education companies and nonprofit associations and organizations
Scale
These grants support larger programs, often reaching thousands of HCPs
For More Information
If you have not submitted an IMED grant application before, please contact Gilead Independent Medical Education at imed@gilead.com for more information.
Medical-Scientific Funding
Gilead has funded a range of Medical-Scientific programs, for example:
- Continuing medical education (CME accredited by ACCME or other organizations)
- Non-accredited CME in compliance with FDA guidelines
- Scientific conferences
- Lecture series or symposia
- Tumor boards or grand rounds
Grantee Eligibility
Nonprofit associations, organizations, community health centers, health systems and academic medical centers
Scale and Timing
These grants support smaller programs, often focused on a local or targeted audience. Requests should be submitted six to eight weeks prior to the program start date.
More Information
Attendance at Medical-Scientific events should be open to professionals in the community. The principal speaker may not be employed by, or the audience limited to, the funded organization. For more information contact meded_grants@gilead.com.
