Coloplast Educational Grants

Application and approval process:

All Educational Grant applications must be submitted to the Grant Committee at least 60 days prior to the start of the proposed activity or educational program in order to allow appropriate review.

Educational Grant applications can be completed by the Grant applicant using the on-line Educational Grant Application form (See below) and submitted directly to the concerned Coloplast entity by sending an e-mail to one of the e-mail addresses which can be found here. The Grant Application form outlines the required supplemental documents and information necessary for a complete application. Incomplete application will not be reviewed by the Grant Committee.

Coloplast employees and sales representatives may not agree to make an Educational Grant prior to the consideration of a request by the Grant Committee and may not offer to influence the Grant Committee on behalf of any applicant. Under no circumstances may a Coloplast employee or sales representative state or suggest to a customer or potential customer that an Educational Grant may be available in connection with the purchase or order of any Coloplast products.

The Grant Committee will meet periodically as needed to review complete grant application and will either approve or deny Educational Grant applications received since the previous Grant Committee meeting.

Educational Grants will only be issued directly from the Grant Committee to the grantee organisation.

Coloplast will maintain records of all Educational Grant applications, whether approved or not, and the decisions of the Grant Committee.

Do not assume an application has been approved. Applicants will receive notification of approval or denial after the Coloplast Grant Committee has made its decision.

Where permitted under national laws, regulations and professional codes of conduct, Coloplast may provide Educational Grants for the advancement of genuine medical education.

Educational Grants provided by Coloplast may never be contingent in any way on past, present or potential future purchase, lease, recommendation, prescription, use, supply or procurement of Coloplast's products or services.

Coloplast does not provide Educational Grants to individual Healthcare Professionals. Where the Educational Grant is provided for the purpose of supporting Healthcare Professionals' attendance at Third Party Organised Educational Events, the Healthcare Organisation receiving the Grant shall be solely responsible for selection of participants and this shall be expressly reflected in the written Grant agreement.

All Educational Grant requests must be submitted through the Grant Request Process. Grants may only be approved by the Grant Committee.

Cross-border events must be vetted "Approved" in the MedTech Europe Conference Vetting System (CVS) as a prerequisite for providing an Educational Grant for attendance to the event. If the event has not been vetted in CVS, the event must be approved by Business Ethics & Compliance in Coloplast.
