Medical Education Grants
Medical Education Grants
Alkermes supports continuing medical education with grants for educational activities focused on pragmatic approaches to improving patient care and public health in the domains of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. We hope to contribute to an improved understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these diseases and their relevance to medications, as well as psychosocial interventions.
Grant funding may be available for activities, including live, print, enduring or web-based continuing medical education (CME) activities. Accredited CME activities are preferred.
Who May Apply
Only organizations based in the U.S. may apply. Medical education grants may be awarded to (i) nonprofit organizations with tax exempt status under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code or (ii) for-profit organizations that are accredited continuing medical education providers.
How to Apply
Requests must be submitted online by the educational provider. Submissions are due at least 90 days in advance of the activity date.
