The grants support short, focused research projects that generate initial exploratory, proof-of-concept, or feasibility data, or that conduct final experiments to advance research into the translational phase. These micro-grants target projects too early for traditional grant funding mechanisms and are available to researchers at any North Carolina university or nonprofit research institute.

The Pfizer Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Fellowship Grant is designed to bolster the number of fellowship programs focused on hematologists who specialize in the treatment of adults with sickle cell disease. This initiative is part of Pfizer Global Medical Grants' broader strategy to support healthcare community-led initiatives that enhance patient outcomes in critical areas of unmet medical need, aligning with Pfizer’s own medical and scientific strategies. The grant aims to enhance the quality of care for sickle cell patients by funding institutions that provide comprehensive training and research opportunities in the field. Specifically, the program supports both established and newly developed fellowship programs that include a robust curriculum in clinical practice, independent research, and education to deepen the scientific understanding of SCD. The fellowship is structured to foster an environment of expert mentorship and significant independent research opportunities. Research activities encouraged under this grant include observational studies and outcomes research that focus on the disease itself, screening tools, and their impact on patient health improvement. Grant funding is set at a maximum of $100,000 for a one-year fellowship, aiming to cover direct costs associated with the fellow’s training and research but explicitly excluding overhead or indirect costs. This financial support underlines Pfizer's commitment to advancing healthcare by investing directly in the development of professionals who are dedicated to improving patient outcomes in the field of sickle cell disease. Key to the grant’s operational framework is compliance with stringent regulatory requirements, including the U.S. Physician Payments Sunshine Act. This act mandates detailed reporting of all transfers of value to ensure transparency and maintain public trust in healthcare practices. The fellowship’s funding structure is designed to be transparent, with specific provisions to prevent any of the funds from benefiting Pfizer's business interests directly or indirectly. Overall, the Pfizer SCD Fellowship embodies a strategic effort to cultivate talent and advance knowledge in a critical area of healthcare, ensuring that the supported programs maintain high standards of integrity and contribute significantly to the field's body of knowledge and patient care practices.
