Description
Ipsen considers grants for accredited continuing education and non-accredited medical education whose primary audience is healthcare professionals or patients. Supported formats may include seminars, webinars, symposia and educational materials. Ipsen prefers accredited continuing education and programs that reach a broad audience at a reasonable cost.
Its 2026 focus areas are rare disease—fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), Alagille syndrome and biliary atresia—alongside neuroscience topics including dystonic disorders, spasticity, other movement disorders and migraine, and pancreatic cancer in oncology. Ipsen has also issued three time-limited requests for proposals (RFPs) addressing specific PBC and PFIC/Alagille educational needs.
