Corporate Responsibility

The Sandoz Office of Grants and Education supports medical grants intended to provide non-promotional, current scientific information to US health care professionals (HCPs) and the scientific community in order to improve patient health.

Sandoz accepts grant applications from hospitals, professional associations, community health centers, managed care organizations, academic medical centers, accredited medical education providers, and medical education communication companies/providers. Individual HCPs are not eligible to submit grants. 

Programs must be independent, and for bona fide accredited and non-accredited, non-promotional medical education activities.

All grant requests must be submitted at least 60 days prior to the program start date and should align with Sandoz areas of therapeutic interest as indicated on our grant website.

For more information and to submit a grant application, please access our medical education grant website at: Sandoz Office of Grants and Education.

Despite the remarkable medical progress during the last century, there are still at least 400 million people worldwide who lack access to essential health services¹ and more than two billion who cannot afford to buy the medicines they need². A healthy life, unfortunately, is still far from a given for too many. Every year, eight million people die from cancer³ and 14 million new cases are diagnosed⁴. Nearly 10 million people develop tuberculosis (TB) annually, including one million children, and the disease claims 1.5 million victims per year⁵. Nearly half a million people still die of malaria every year⁶.

As a division of the Novartis Group, Sandoz is committed to playing a key role in achieving global healthcare goals, by pioneering new approaches to drive increased access worldwide. Increasing access to medicine is the basis of our day-to-day business model, but we also run a range of targeted corporate responsibility programs to ensure access for those most in need.

On the following pages, we explain more about the work we do on Corporate Responsibility and the programs we run. We focus on addressing specific health needs in underprivileged communities, including non-communicable and infectious diseases, as well as promoting access to medical information and capacity building through our maternal and child health and Breathe Africa programs.
