Grant Guidelines

What Onyx Can Support

Onyx will consider unsolicited grant requests from qualified organizations in support of quality programs and services with an educational, scientific or charitable purpose. Grants will only be awarded to those requesting organizations with good standing in the community and a reputation for delivering quality programs and services. Supported programs must focus on improving patient education, quality of life or medical education.

Onyx generally does not provide grants for:

  • Individuals, individual scholarships, and individual travel support
  • Government agencies, employees and contractors
  • General education funds (i.e., must be a specific program/event)
  • Political purposes
  • Religious purposes
  • Initiatives that pose a conflict of interest with the commercial or development goals of Onyx
  • Cost overruns following the conclusion of a program (i.e., “retrospective” or “supplemental” grants)

Level of funding is determined solely at the discretion of the Onyx Grant Review Committee. While it is not possible to grant every request, those meeting the necessary criteria will be given careful consideration.

Review Lead Times

Review times can vary between grant requests.  Occasionally, additional information or clarification is required for which the requestor may be contacted.  In such cases, the review lead time may be extended.  To help minimize this time, requestors should provide the most complete and accurate documentation available.

  • Grant applications with request amounts of $10,000.00 or less, must be submitted no less than 30 days prior to the program start date.
  • Grant applications with request amounts greater than $10,000.00 must be submitted no less than 60 days prior to the program start date.

Grant Request Status

Upon Grant Review Committee deliberation, the requestor is notified of the decision via e-mail to the address entered on the Grant Request Form. Approved requests are processed and a check is sent directly to the Institution mailing address. A request should not be considered approved until receipt of the e-mail message confirming the approved amount.

For questions regarding the status of a grant request during the review period, or to make changes to the request, please contact the Onyx Grants Administrator at grants@onyx-pharm.com.
