COVID-19 Vaccine Grants

As a leader in the development of vaccines, Pfizer is proud to support independent efforts in areas of research, education and quality improvement with a primary goal of optimizing the prevention of COVID-19 . Given the urgency and complexity of efforts required to respond to the global pandemic, we are launching our COVID-19 vaccine grant program in phases.

As needs and gaps become clearer, we will be adding goals and areas of interest to the categories below. Please note the following:

Currently, we are not accepting applications for clinical research that studies the safety, immunogenicity, and/or efficacy of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.
To ensure vaccine availability for the general public, Pfizer is unable to provide COVID-19 vaccine as part of a grant.
