Pfizer is proud to present our Medical & Academic Partnerships program, which improves patient care and increases the safe and effective use of our medicines. Since the inception of the Medical & Academic Partnerships program in 1984, Pfizer has funded more than 1000 proposals. This program is a reflection of Pfizer’s commitment to advancing research, innovation, and medical education in Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Osteopathic Medicine, Pharmacy and Public Health.

Pfizer’s Medical & Academic Partnerships program provides financial support for fellows and host institutions in a wide range of therapeutic and public health areas.

• Fellowships provide career-building opportunities for therapeutic clinicians and academic researchers in basic, outcomes, and patient-oriented research that are vital to improving healthcare.
• Visiting Professorships are a resource for in-depth, clinically focused exchange between host organizations and outside scholar-scientists.
• Public-Private Partnerships with organizations such as the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention help develop future medical leaders and drive advances in patient care.

Each Medical & Academic Partnerships award area has an independent academic selection committee comprised of leaders in the program’s field. This committee selects the recipients of these nationally competitive awards and helps shape the structure and scope of future programs to maximize their impact.
