CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION (CME) & Grant Requests

Dendreon Pharmaceuticals LLC (Dendreon) supports a variety of independent, accredited continuing medical education (CME) activities and educational program grants that provide valuable scientific, medical, and educational information to the medical and scientific communities.

The information on this page elaborates on educational topics of interest.

Independent CME

The accredited continuing education programs that Dendreon may support include CME-certified educational activities for physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals.

All accredited programs must follow the standards set forth in the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support / Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education or similar accrediting organizations.

Dendreon's current therapeutic areas of interest include:

Oncology - Prostate Cancer, Advanced Prostate Cancer, Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Dendreon will consider all independent CME grant applications, including: (1) unsolicited submissions, and (2) professional CME programs (which may or may not integrate patient education that is of high quality, unbiased, evidence-based, and independently developed).

Educational Program Grants and Charitable Initiatives

Dendreon provides limited financial support to qualified 501(c)(3) or otherwise IRS tax-exempt charitable organizations. We will consider support of medical- and patient-centered programs and activities in communities where Dendreon operates, as well as initiatives that may have national impact.

Groups requesting CME or financial support should complete the form below and upload the following documentation for review and consideration:

COVID-19 Update

At Dendreon, the health and well-being of our employees, patients, and communities are of high importance. In an effort to help contain the spread of COVID-19, we will prioritize virtual or enduring education activities or other novel instructional/design/format grant submissions during these uncertain times.

Live events will be considered when exposure restrictions are lifted.

Exceptions may be granted for future national live meetings with known early submission deadlines.

These are temporary, preventive steps to protect healthcare providers, patients, our employees, and communities against exposure to COVID-19, in alignment with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations regarding social distancing and avoiding large groups, and local state/city guidance.

Dendreon will continue to monitor and assess the COVID-19 situation and will update this notice as necessary. For further information on COVID-19, please send your requests to MAC@dendreon.com.
