Introduction
Conquer Cancer® , the ASCO Foundation and Pfizer Global Medical Grants are collaborating to offer a Quality Improvement grant funding opportunity to improve the quality of care and to help build capacity to address the needs of breast cancer (BC) patients in Sub-Saharan Africa. This grant program will support innovative projects to improve the quality of BC patient care in the select geographies in the region (please review eligibility section below).
Submissions addressing the expressed Areas of Interest with a measurable and sustainable positive impact on patients will be favored by the Scientific Review Committee (SRC).
This grant awards program was purposefully developed with the Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Council of ASCO expressly for the patients of the Sub-Saharan region.
Conquer Cancer is the lead organization for the review and evaluation of applications. Grant funding will be provided directly from Pfizer. Collectively, up to $1,000,000 is available to fund Quality Improvement projects under this RFP. The maximum grant budget is $80,000 with a term of 24 months.
Successful applicants to this RFP will be expected to share the initial results of their project with ASCO’s SubSaharan Africa Regional Council at a future grantee meeting to be convened by Conquer Cancer. In addition, awardees will be invited to participate in career development, education, and networking opportunities provided by Global Bridges Healthcare Alliance (https://globalbridges.org).
