Medical Writing Grants

Apellis is committed to improving the lives of our patients by increasing the medical and scientific understanding and education in research and therapeutic areas of interest.

Apellis provides grants to authors for medical writing support by independent medical writing agencies to support the publication of research, including case studies or case series, where the grant recipient is solely responsible for developing the content and managing the content. All grant requests must be independent and unsolicited.

The Grants Review Committee meets regularly to review all submissions and awards funding based on medical or scientific merit, unmet medical need, and availability of funds. Apellis may approve or decline a request at its sole discretion.
