Can we still request educational grants from industry to support grand rounds, lecture series, or other educational programs?
Yes. Industry grant requests can be submitted by divisions and departments to support educational programs as long as the requests comply with the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support. The Standards for Commercial Support must be adhered to whether an activity is a CME activity or not. Many companies now require that the requests be made on-line through the company’s education department rather than through their marketing divisions. Requests for support for CME events should be made through the Office of Continuing Medical Education (310) 794-2620 for the School of Medicine or through the Office of Professional and Community Education in the Semel Institute for the neurosciences (310) 206-9299. If your event is not a CME activity, contact your department administrator.
