Pfizer Inc is proud to present its Medical & Academic Partnerships (MAP) grants – a reflection of Pfizer’s commitment to advancing research, innovation, and education in academic medicine, health literacy, health disparities, health policy, and public health.

On this Web site, you will find information about 14 MAP grant and award programs which provide financial support for fellows, scholars, and host institutions in a wide range of therapeutic areas, health literacy topics, and public health issues. Recipients of these nationally competitive MAP grants are selected by independent academic advisory boards made up of leaders in each program’s field. Information about additional Pfizer grant programs is also available.

To learn more about a specific MAP program and to download a brochure, you may search for a grant in several ways: by eligibility, by therapeutic area or discipline , or by program type.

Every year, members of MAP’s Academic Advisory Boards meet in New York City to select that year’s award recipients. In 2007, MAP also provided an opportunity for these board members, as well as current grantees, academic and medical leaders, to participate and engage in dialogue through the congenial setting of the Medical Futures Forum.
