Sage supports Request for Proposals (RFPs) for independent medical education to improve patient outcomes in areas of unmet medical need aligned to Sage’s medical and scientific objectives.

There are currently no medical education RFPs. Please check back for updates as Sage may publish RFPs in the future.

Educational grant requests must conform to the following:

• Grant requests must be unsolicited and must not provide nor promise any benefit to Sage.
• Grant requests for support of educational programs with multiple funding sources are preferred.
• Educational programs, activities, or materials that are designed to promote the institution’s or organization’s bona fide patient or educational services must relate to an area of interest to Sage.
• Funding amounts must be reasonable for the activities proposed and grant funds must only be used for the expenses described in the grant application and the approval agreement.

Educational grant requests may NOT:

• Be payable to an individual HCP or physician practice, or companies predominantly owned by a practicing individual HCP or his/her spouse, or the charitable arm thereof.
• Request use of funding to support conference travel grants or registration fees for HCPs (other than funding of scholarships to permit medical students, residents, fellows or other HCPs in training to attend carefully selected educational conferences without naming the recipient).
• Be for education that is routine and/or a required part of medical training, e.g. textbooks, journal subscriptions, or preparation materials for Board reviews.
