Pfizer Independent Grants for Learning & Change Request for Proposals (RFP): Employing Integrated and Coordinated Multimodal-Therapies in a Primary Care Setting to Improve Outcomes and Optimize Healthcare Utilization for Patients with Chronic Pain

Pfizer Independent Grants for Learning & Change’s (IGL&C) mission: improve patient outcomes by partnering with the global healthcare community and supporting measurable learning and change strategies. “Independent ” means that the projects funded by Pfizer are the full responsibility of the recipient organization. Pfizer has no influence over any aspect of the projects and only asks for reports about the results and the impact of the projects in order to share them publicly. To fulfill its mission, Pfizer IGL&C issues RFPs addressing practice and/or knowledge gaps. RFPs generally identify a clinical challenge and encourage applicants to address that challenge by creating programs that foster quality improvement and adoption or integration of evidence-based education. For instance, programs may • identify strategies to encourage provision and use of effective health services; • identify strategies to promote the integration of evidence into policy and program decisions; • adapt education and quality-improvement strategies to a particular population or setting; • identify how to enhance existing quality-improvement or education strategies
