Pfizer Inc. AI policy
Varies by programChecked November 9, 2026
In short
Pfizer has no grant-wide rule on AI use. Some 2026 Pfizer competitive grant RFPs (for example a US ALK-positive lung cancer education RFP and a US PTCL research RFP) require applicants to disclose whether they used AI tools to prepare the application, and say failure to disclose may lead to disqualification. Most other 2026 Pfizer RFPs we read have no AI clause, so check the RFP you are answering.
For applicants
- In RFPs that include the clause, you must disclose whether AI tools were used to prepare your grant application. If they were, you should briefly identify the tools, describe how you used them (for example drafting, editing, summarization, or content creation), and explain how you reviewed and validated the AI-assisted output.[1][2]
- Using AI does not disqualify an application, but you remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality and compliance of everything you submit. Not disclosing AI use may lead to disqualification.[2]
