Medical Grants
GSK Canada supports independent medical education, professional organization memberships and sponsorships, and other medical grants.
GSK recognizes a responsibility to support activities in our medical community, whether related to our commitment to support medical education where there is patient need and mutual scientific interest, to support professional societies’ initiatives, or to assist healthcare organizations or projects that promote other healthcare goals. In all of our interactions we aim to be transparent about our work, operate with integrity, and always put the interests of patients first.
GSK Medical will review qualifying grant requests and may reach out for additional information. Decisions on funding requests may take 8-10 weeks and decisions will be communicated when each review is complete. Specifically, for independent medical education requests, applications will be accepted three times per year during Call for Proposals: January; May; and September. For other grants requests, applications will be accepted throughout the year.
To qualify for a Medical Grant, you must meet the criteria below, and submit a completed application form with all supporting documents to medicalgrants.canada@gsk.com.
Please ensure you meet the following criteria before submitting an application:
- I confirm that the event or activity will not start for 12 weeks following date of application submission.
- I confirm that the application is on behalf of an organization (not an individual).
- I confirm the request is in one or more of GSK’s disease area of interest.
- I confirm the request is for an eligible Canadian medical organization.
Conference Sponsorship Requests:
If the funding request offers any sort of commercial benefit (e.g. booth or complementary conference registration in exchange for sponsorship) the request is a Conference Sponsorship. Please submit these requests to the conference sponsorship team at email: ca.conference-sponsorship@gsk.com.
