Pfizer Medical Education Group Request for Proposals (RFP) Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)

grants to facilitate patient care improvements by supporting initiatives aimed at exploring approaches to closing gaps in clinical practice. The term “Independent ” means that the initiatives that the grants help to support are the full responsibility of the receiving organization. Pfizer has no influence over any aspect of the project, and only asks for reports about the results and impact of the projects in order to share them publicly. A gap in clinical practice is considered to be the difference between what is currently happening and what should be happening to meet the highest optimal standard of care. Gaps may relate to: • the ability or competencies of the healthcare professionals themselves, • the abilities of the systems in which they work to promote or allow proper management d • other factors related to the external environment or patient population. This RFP is specifically narrowly focused on the knowledge and understanding of the individual clinician as it relates to caring for patients with advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma. Subsequent RFPs are planned for release later in 2013 that will look at broader issues of systems and teams and support mechanisms for oncologists. Pfizer is also currentl
