Our Giving Philosophy

We see scientists, researchers, and medical professionals working together to solve the world's most pressing problems. We see patients coming together to form communities. We see organizations providing education, raising awareness and providing much-needed support. That's why we offer support, resources, and funding.

Funding Focus Areas

• Independent Medical Education (IME)

  Independent Medical Education (IME) is generally defined as education for healthcare professionals (HCPs) provided by an independent educational provider, such as a community hospital, academic center, society/association or medical education & communication company. Genentech/Roche supports grants for independent medical education in an effort to further the advance of medicine and healthcare by improving the knowledge of the medical community. Learn more
