The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® and Pfizer Global Medical Grants & Partnerships (Pfizer) are collaborating to offer a new grant opportunity seeking proposals for quality improvement initiatives and implementation to improve the care of patients with metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC). Pfizer (hereafter, “Grantor”) is providing $1.5 Million in funding to support quality improvement projects to advance healthcare quality, the delivery of quality care, and sustainably improve healthcare provider performance in the care of patients with mBC. The Grantor will serve as the funding organization. Grants are only available to healthcare providers from institutions within the United States. All community and academic-based programs, regardless of NCCN affiliation, are eligible and encouraged to apply.
Funding Considerations: • A total of $1.5 Million is available to fund all projects.
• There is a funding cap of $250,000 per project.
• Exceptional proposals with multiple significant collaborating organizations and the potential for wide expansion beyond a single health system may request additional funding above the $250,000 cap.
• Smaller, lower-cost projects are encouraged.
• All budgets must include line-item information and a robust justification.
• Overhead (indirect cost) rates of up to 28% of the total proposed project budget are allowed and must be included in the total requested amount.
• Costs associated with publication of a manuscript and/or travel to present the results of the project at a national meeting will be given consideration for support.
• Applicants are required to disclose additional sources of funding for the proposed project and demonstrate that funding does not overlap.
• Funding decisions are deferred to the members of the external review committee as chosen by NCCN and are independent of Grantor.
