Grants & Contributions

Educational Grants

Educational grants may be provided to third-party organizations for valid educational or scientific reasons such as advancing medical education or training of health care professionals (“HCPs”) or raising patient and public awareness on important health care topics that align with Axonics’ core business. Grants may be monetary, in-kind or other contributions to third-parties. Grants must be provided to a third-party program organizer or to a training institution or entity, such as a hospital, academic center or society. Grants may not be provided to a specific individual or private practice. Requests will be reviewed and considered based on merits of the program. Unfortunately, due to finite resources, Axonics cannot support all grant requests or requests may only be partially funded. We appreciate your understanding. All approved grant requests must be documented in a fully-executed, written agreement before any award is due and payable
