Does previous support of a program through Octapharma guarantee future support?

Unfortunately, previous support of a program does not guarantee future support. The grants selection process evaluates each grant application and will determine acceptance and level of support for each individual grant request. The requests are not approved until the applicant receives a written confirmation from the Octapharma Grants Committee.

The Octapharma Grants Program can be withdrawn at the discretion of Octapharma USA at any time.
