Overview
This competitive grant program seeks to support research studies that focus on generating evidence on the use of elranatamab in Multiple Myeloma (MM) in the real world/clinical practice setting1. Patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) generally experience poor response rates and survival outcomes, particularly those treated in later lines of therapy, including triple-class-exposed (TCE) patients2. Given the recent approval of elranatamab and the limited real-world experience in TCE RRMM3-4, real-world data are needed to generate robust evidence on its effectiveness and safety in routine clinical practice.
Project Types and Area of Interest
Projects that will be considered for Pfizer support will focus on:
• Real world evidence (RWE) and observational studies assessing safety, effectiveness, and treatment patterns
• Comparative and sequencing analyses evaluating outcomes across prior therapies and lines of treatment
• Subgroup and disparity research focused on populations under represented in clinical trials
• Patient centered outcomes research, including Patient‑Reported Outcomes (PROs), caregiver burden, and adherence
• Translational and biomarker research to understand mechanisms of response, resistance, and relapse
Funding Range and Project Length
Total available budget related to this RFP is approximately 250,000€. Individual projects requesting up to 120,000€ will be considered, although smaller requests (around 60,000€) are also encouraged. Projects are encouraged to begin from September 2026 onwards, for a maximum duration of 26 months.

👉 “Will this improve patient care soon?” is the central evaluation lens
• The institution and Principal Investigator (PI) must be based in Spain.
• Only organizations are eligible to receive grants, not individuals or medical practice groups (i.e., an independent group of physicians not affiliated with a hospital, academic institution, or professional society).
• If the project involves multiple departments within an institution and/or between different institutions / organizations / associations, all institutions must have a relevant role and the requesting organization must have a key role in the project.
• The PI must have a medical or postdoctoral degree (MD, PhD, or equivalent), an advanced nursing degree (BSN with a MS/PhD), or a degree in Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, or Social Work.
• The applicant must be the PI or an authorized designee of such individual (e.g., PI’s research coordinator).
• The PI must be an employee or contractor of the requesting organization.
• Requesting organization must be legally able to receive award funding directly from Pfizer International LLC. We strongly recommend that applicants confirm this with their organization or institution prior to submitting an application. Grants awarded to organizations that are subsequently found to be unable to accept funding directly from Pfizer International LLC may be subject to rescission.
