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. We hope to contribute to an improved understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the diseases we research 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.
