In 2012, Pfizer adopted a new funding model to guide decision-making around its independent grants program. Based on the NIH format, external review panels evaluate proposals and make the ultimate decisions on funding of learning and change initiatives that advance public health agendas and improve patient care and outcomes.

Learning Areas:

Implementation of health education strategies, interventions and programs
Public health or related education
Systems thinking models (conceptual and theoretical models), applications related to public health

Learning Objectives:
Describe the benefits to having funders at the table early-on in a project planning process. Analyze the processes involved in starting and maintaining collaborations with funders. Formulate how grantmakers can actively take part in local public health community efforts.
