| Pfizer: COVID-19 Disease Burden on the High Risk Population (worldwide) | Individual projects covering multiple countries requesting up to $175,000 will be considered. Projects costing higher than this may be considered on a case-by-case basis. The estimated total available budget related to this RFP is $400,000. • Award amounts include direct costs, institutional overhead costs (capped at 28% per Pfizer policy), and indirect costs. | The objective of this RFP is to support educational initiatives focused on the burden of COVID-19 in adult patients with high-risk conditions. These programs are intended for geriatricians, infectious disease specialists, and primary care providers who care for high-risk patients. The aim is to enhance their ability to identify, diagnose, and manage COVID-19 effectively, particularly in populations with limited disease awareness and hesitancy toward oral treatment. It is important to emphasize that COVID-19 remains a significant disease, with high rates of hospitalization and mortality among high-risk groups.
Project Types and Area of Interest Through this RFP it is our intent to support educational programs for HCPs that address knowledge gaps in identifying patients at high risk for developing severe COVID-19 outcomes, including hospitalization or death, and are designed to help achieve the following goals: • Improve identification of patients with high-risk conditions and their eligibility for COVID-19 treatment. • Recognize the importance of early COVID-19 intervention/treatment in high-risk patients. • Outline COVID-19 complications associated with high-risk conditions and the impact they have on patients and healthcare systems. • Long term impact of COVID-19, including long COVID and worsening or new onset of diseases (diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases). |
Closing Date: 21 Aug, 2025 |
