Meet Ipsen in the US

We seek to advance scientific and medical knowledge by funding certain types of requests for medical education that will benefit the public and improve patient health.

We are interested in providing educational funding within our therapeutic areas: oncology, neurosciences, and rare diseases. This includes acromegaly, neuroendocrine tumors, carcinoid syndrome, pancreatic cancer, neuromuscular and movement disorders, severe primary IGF-1 deficiency (SPIGFD) and fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). Ipsen has a preference for programs that are supported by multiple organizations.

Grant requests may come from academic institutions, state or national medical associations or societies, disease foundations and associations, or other medical education providers. For academic institutions, the University Grants Office should apply for the grant, rather than an individual department or research group. Grants will not be given to individuals. Ipsen does not fund noneducational expenses.

Approval of grant funding is never related to or conditioned upon past prescriptions or purchases of Ipsen products. Ipsen does not offer or provide educational grants to encourage or to reward the prescription, purchase, order or recommendation of Ipsen products.

Through our charitable contribution efforts, Ipsen provides donations to 501 (c)(3) organizations located in the US that are aligned with our company social responsibility priorities and focus on 1) health and social service initiatives aimed at improving patients’ lives, especially in the areas of oncology, neuroscience and rare diseases; 2) science, technology, engineering and mathematics or STEM education programs; 3) environment sustainability; and 4) initiatives that aim to strengthen and address critical needs in communities where our employees live and work.

Charitable contributions are reviewed and evaluated by the Charitable Funding Committee (CFC), a committee that meets monthly or as needed. We accept online requests for charitable contributions from qualified 501 (c)(3) US-based organizations as outlined below and our typical donation amount is $5,000.

Approval of charitable contributions are never related to or conditioned upon past prescriptions or purchases of Ipsen products. Ipsen does not offer or provide charitable contributions to encourage or to reward the prescription, purchase, order or recommendation of Ipsen products.
