Grants

Overview

Hyperion Therapeutics supports continuing medical education for the benefit of healthcare professionals and their patients by sponsoring research and educational opportunities through grants. Grants and donations enhance the quality of patient care, awareness regarding a certain disease in the community, and provide support for person(s) with a specific disease. These grants and donations may not be used to influence a healthcare professional’s prescribing habits or the recipient’s purchasing or prescribing practices.

Hyperion’s policy of providing financial assistance through grants is based upon the FDA criteria for independence and guidelines of the American Medical Association, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association, and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education pertaining to industry support of conferences and gifts. The following types of grant requests will not be considered (this list is not all-inclusive):

• Support or payments made directly to individuals
• Travel or registration fee/expense assistance from Hyperion to attend educational programs
• Ordinary operating expenses of a qualified recipient
• Building or construction funding
• Religious organizations
• Political organizations or lobbying activity
• Labor unions
• Fraternal, service, or veteran’s organizations
• Entertainment (e.g., class reunions, recognition / retirement dinners, etc.)
• Organizations that discriminate based on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, or veteran or disability status.

Please note that each grant is evaluated on its individual merit relative to other grant requests. Please do not consider any request approved until you have received written documentation from Hyperion Therapeutics’ Grant Review committee approving your grant request.
