Terms & Conditions – North America

Gilead is proud to support hundreds of organizations and projects every year, but please remember that applying for a grant is not a guarantee of funding.

Gilead grants programs are separate from the company’s commercial activities. Sales and marketing personnel are never involved in grant decisions, and grants are never connected to or conditioned upon purchasing, prescribing, recommending or otherwise supporting Gilead products.

The Gilead Corporate Grants program is administered in accordance with federal and state laws, including Section 6002 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as “OPEN PAYMENTS” or the “Physician Payments Sunshine Act”). Under these regulations, certain grant payments may be subject to reporting to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which will make the details available for public viewing on its website.

To exercise full control over the supported project, including selection of speakers and attendees
To disclose to project participants that Gilead provided financial support and, if applicable, whether any unapproved uses of products will be discussed
To provide documentation, at Gilead’s request, demonstrating that funds were used as intended and that the project achieved its stated purpose
To follow the Gilead Logo Usage Guidelines for Grantees
To not use any support provided to discriminate against a person or group on the basis of age, political affiliation, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or religious belief.
