Japan requests

Note that Japan only reviews requests for Grants for Education between April and June. Grant requests received outside of this period will not be considered. Additionally, only professional/medical associations or societies may request a Grant for Education in Japan.


US requests

For accredited activities in the US, Astellas requires that the accredited provider submit the request. When the requestor is a hospital, medical center, or medical school, the CME Office must submit the request.


Astellas US has identified healthcare educational gaps within our therapeutic areas of interest that impact healthcare professional knowledge, competence, and application and positively contribute to improving healthcare for patients.
