Acclarent Grants

Activities not supported through our educational grant process

The following types of activities are not eligible for educational grant support:

• Programs not approved by Acclarent prior to the date of the event

• Requests outside the areas of Acclarent business, educational and/or research interest
• Requests from individual Health Care Professionals (HCP), group practices, commercial organizations or MECCs
• Travel, expenses or fees for specific conference/society participants. As an exception, travel may be requested for HCPs in training, e.g. fellows, residents, medical students, if the request comes from the program sponsor or medical educational institution

Clinical Fellowship Funding

We're committed to working with medical institutions, thought-leaders, and other healthcare professionals to inspire innovation, educate patients and improve patient outcomes. Therefore, Acclarent is pleased to support educational grants for fellowship programs sponsored by teaching institutions, community hospitals or medical societies/associations that have a bona fide interest in, and track record of, advancing education and research in therapeutic areas of interest to Acclarent. Our fellowships are awarded to qualifying medical institutions or societies based on established criteria around the merit and rigor of the program, as well as funding availability.

Investigator Initiated Study Support

We accept unsolicited requests from independent researchers for funding and/or products to support independent research activities of legitimate interest to the Company and to advance patient care. The review process will likely take at least 90 days from the submission date of the completed application. All decisions regarding the Company's funding of grants and contributions are made independent of Sales and Marketing.

IIS proposals are reviewed to ensure that 1) the subjects' well-being is of primary importance, 2) Johnson & Johnson’s Credo-based values are considered in the design and conduct of the study, 3) the principles of good clinical and/or laboratory practice are applied, 4) product information is relevant, accurate, fair and balanced, and 5) medical and ethical concerns are raised and vetted.

If an application is approved, execution of a milestone-based contract is required for disbursement of the grant, and the investigator must attempt to present the research at a recognized educational forum and attempt to publish the study results in a peer-reviewed journal. This application process is intended for clinicians and scientists who are published and experienced in research.

Proposals must describe research that is unique and of scientific and business merit. Although the approval or denial of an individual request does not influence the review of subsequent proposals, reconciliation of any outstanding items from a previously approved grant to the same requestor or entity must be completed before anew proposal can be approved.
