Gilead supports many organizations and projects, but we receive more grant requests than we are able to fund.  Applying for a grant is not a guarantee of funding. 

Grants are separate from the company’s commercial activities, and sales and marketing personnel are not involved in grant decisions.  Grants are not 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), who will make the details available for public viewing on its website.

By submitting an application, an organization agrees:

  • To use any support provided solely for the project described in the funding request, and to return any unused funds to Gilead
  • 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 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.
