Gilead North America Grants We are inspired by the work that our grantees do every day to improve access and eliminate barriers to healthcare while advancing education among patients and healthcare professionals. We support projects in North America across all our therapeutic areas — HIV, liver diseases, oncology and inflammatory and respiratory diseases. Funding Priorities HIV: While advances in medical research help millions of people living with HIV have longer, more fulfilling lives today, HIV continues to have a devastating impact, especially on underserved communities and in populations who lack access to medical care and are impacted by stigma and discrimination. We support organizations working to help individuals learn their HIV status and get the care they need. We also support organizations that aim to solve the challenges of tomorrow, including how to:Understand the impact HIV has on an aging population Ensure continuity and retention in care Spark appreciation for innovative thinking in HIV treatment Identify and create a new generation of advocatesHIV Cure:We work to address the HIV epidemic by discovering transformative and life-saving medicines, developing simplified treatment regimens that increase efficacy, expanding access to treatment for those who need it most and building communities among people affected by HIV and AIDS. Continuing on this commitment, we partner with and support institutions, community groups and organizations that are engaged in HIV cure activities through grant funding.HIV Prevention:We support the efforts of community-based organizations, public health entities and similar nonprofit organizations to educate their constituents about comprehensive HIV prevention, including the role of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Specifically, we support programs designed to:Provide comprehensive education on the range of prevention options and strategies available Ensure biomedical prevention plans, such as PrEP, are implemented safely and effectively in accordance with recommended guidelines Engage communities and individuals at highest risk for HIV infection in prevention effortsLiver Disease:Hepatitis C disproportionately affects people who use drugs and other at-risk populations and there remain gaps in access to testing and care. We are working to change this by providing funding for organizations that:Raise awareness and provide education Increase treatment capacity and sustainability Move individuals down the care pathway from screening to cure Eliminate barriers to testing, care and treatmentOncology: Cancer remains one of the greatest health challenges we face. We support organizations focused on health equity in order to: Enable people affected by cancer and their caregivers to make informed health decisions Educate healthcare providers on identification, screening and diagnosis Improve access to prevention and treatment by overcoming barriers to careInflammatory and Respiratory Diseases: Inflammatory and respiratory diseases have a substantial impact on people of every age, gender, ethnic group and economic class.
