medical education grants office   

Welcome to the AstraZeneca Medical Education Grants Office (MEGO). This site is designed to provide information and support related to the application and processing of independent grant requests.

Due to the volume of grants received by the Medical Education Grants Office at AstraZeneca, we request that you submit a single grant application for the following situations: 1) a single conference or meeting even if seeking support for multiple topics and/or sessions and 2) a series of activities during a specified timeframe such as grand rounds or regularly scheduled conferences/meetings. When completing the application, please identify one therapeutic area in the 'primary areas of focus', as well as the 'additional areas of focus' fields if applicable on the application. Be certain to include needs assessment and learning objectives for each topic or therapeutic area, when submitting supporting documentation.

We hope that you will find what you need, including general information about the grant application process, our Areas of Educational Interest, an on-line grant application form, frequently asked questions, and the ability to check the status of your pending applications. Of course, we are also available to answer your specific questions by phone at 877-AZGRANT (877-294-7268) Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, via email at grants@astrazeneca.com, or through our list of Frequently Asked Questions.

Grants must be submitted at least 45 days prior to the program date to allow for appropriate review of your grant request. Grant applications submitted after this cut-off period will not be accepted, no exceptions.

We strongly encourage reviewing our Budget Alert, this provides the most current information regarding funding availability in various therapeutic areas for which we receive grant requests. Additionally, please use our RAPID (Rapid Assessment of Potential Interest and Direction) line, which will provide you with feedback on whether your proposed program is consistent with our current areas of educational interest and available funding. Please check our Areas of Educational Interest to determine if we are currently accepting grants in the area addressed by your proposed program or call 877-294-7268 and talk to a MEGO representative.

If you have any questions regarding the grant status and funded decisions, please submit them in writing to: grants@astrazeneca.com. In order to expedite your request, please be as specific as possible and remember to reference your Grant ID # for all inquires.

Thank you for your interest in AstraZeneca, and for being a part of our ongoing commitment to independent medical education.
