Zimmer Biomet Foundation: Educational Grants

The Zimmer Biomet Foundation offers educational grants to support organizations that focus on scientific, clinical, or healthcare education. These grants promote educational programs, independent conferences, and resident education, ensuring that the content remains unbiased and free from influence. Eligible applicants include educational institutions, training hospitals, and medical associations, while requests from individuals or private practices are not supported. By fostering education in healthcare, the foundation aims to improve community well-being and advance medical knowledge.

NOTE: Requests are initiated by submitting a written request through the online Grants Portal. Request should be submitted at least 60 days prior to the educational event or program.
Zimmer Biomet may provide grants to organizations and institutions that have a genuine educational or scientific purpose or function to support educational programs and events on scientific, clinical, or healthcare topics. Zimmer Biomet may place restrictions on a grant, but it may not seek to control or influence the content, faculty, educational materials, or methods of the educational program funded by the grant. Similarly, Zimmer Biomet may not select or instruct the organizational or institutional grant recipient to select specific HCPs or other individuals or organizations to benefit from Zimmer Biomet’s grant funding.
Independent Educational Conferences: Zimmer Biomet considers applications in support of independent educational conferences that promote scientific knowledge, medical advancement and the delivery of effective healthcare.Resident Education Funding: Zimmer Biomet considers applications in support of educational efforts within accredited residency programs. The program director or coordinator must submit all funding requests.Medical Education Events: Support for medical education events is generally limited to grants for non-Zimmer Biomet Educational meeting expenses, or product support for training events involving Zimmer Biomet products.Patient and Public Education Events: Zimmer Biomet can support patient and public education, but requests cannot be approved for events sponsored by an HCP’s private practice or any affiliated organization.Grand Round and Lectureships: Grants may be used for reasonable speaker fees, travel and lodging for speakers, and, only occasionally for modest meals for speakers and attendees. Funding may not be used for lodging if the speaker is a staff member at the requesting organization.Enduring Education Materials: Grants may be used to develop enduring educational materials (i.e. reusable medical education items that are printed, recorded, or electronic/digital).
