The ITP ASH 2024 grant initiative, offered by SANOFI, is designed to identify and fund projects that aim to close significant healthcare gaps related to the treatment and management of Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP). ITP is a rare blood disorder characterized by a significantly reduced platelet count, leading to a heightened risk of bleeding and serious health complications such as thrombosis and hematologic malignancy. The chronic nature of ITP often results in a diminished quality of life for patients, manifesting in anxiety, fatigue, and depression due to ongoing concerns about bleeding risks and ineffective current therapies. SANOFI is particularly interested in supporting educational and therapeutic strategies that promise to enhance the clinical handling of ITP, focusing on innovative treatment methodologies and educational activities that can lead to improved patient outcomes. Proposals are invited for projects including, but not limited to, live symposiums at medical conferences, enduring materials for broader educational reach, and both accredited and non-accredited Independent Medical Education (IME) activities. A budget cap of $425,000 is set for the grant, with a strong preference for proposals that incorporate evidence-based approaches and demonstrate potential to address knowledge gaps among healthcare providers, thus improving treatment practices.

This grant opportunity, offered by Sanofi, aims to address gaps and provide educational resources related to the diagnosis and treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). CIDP is a heterogeneous, immune-mediated neuropathy characterized by demyelination of motor and sensory nerves, leading to various clinical challenges. Sanofi seeks proposals for educational programs, particularly those that can effectively recap information from the 2024 Peripheral Nerve Society Annual Meeting and offer independent medical education (IME) activities. Programs should focus on key evidence-based data and offer recommendations to healthcare providers dealing with CIDP, particularly in areas such as treatment options, clinical challenges, and the role of complement therapeutics in CIDP care.

This grant from Sanofi's Rare Blood Disorders Medical Affairs department focuses on medical education programs addressing Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP). The grant aims to support independent medical education (IME) activities that recap highlights from EHA 2024 and ISTH 2024 conferences on ITP, emphasizing enduring programs, accredited or non-accredited IME activities, and digital or omnichannel formats. Proposals should address existing healthcare gaps in the treatment and management of ITP, improving clinician knowledge and patient outcomes. The maximum grant request is $150,000, with a focus on comprehensive interventions that address knowledge and performance gaps in ITP treatment. Proposals should cover target audience generation, learning objectives, educational methods, faculty recruitment, program evaluation, and budget planning.
