Daiichi Sankyo has developed criteria for each type of funding request. These criteria can be found on the website page for each funding type.

Applications for funding support are reviewed on a rolling basis and must be submitted online. Requests for funding a particular program or event must be received by the posted deadline date for the quarter that the event is to occur. Daiichi Sankyo does not provide any grant support for events that have already occurred.

On a case-by-case basis and under urgent circumstances, Daiichi Sankyo may provide corporate giving outside of the posted quarterly submission deadline review period. These exceptional circumstances may include urgent community relief, natural disasters, or other community and public health needs requiring urgent support. Any requests for urgent corporate support should be made by contacting the OGE-CME@dsi.com.

If your application is made by the quarterly submission deadline and is submitted within 60 days of the event, Daiichi Sankyo may choose to review your application on an exceptional basis. However, there are no guarantees that the application will be reviewed or approved. Priority will be given to applications that are submitted by the quarterly submission deadline and more than 60 days until the event.
