Welcome
to the Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceutical Inc (BIPI) and Lilly USA, LLC (Lilly)
Alliance on-line application and grant management portal.
On January 11,
2011 BIPI and Lilly announced a global agreement to jointly develop and
commercialize a portfolio of diabetes compounds. We are committed to supporting
education that fosters innovative, high quality, independent medical education
for healthcare professionals and patients that narrows unmet medical needs,
maintains clinical excellence, and measurably improves health outcomes in areas
of interest to the BIPI and Lilly Diabetes Alliance.
By agreement between
BIPI and Lilly, grant requests will be processed through the BIPI on-line grant
system but the application request will be reviewed by both companies. The
following steps are required in order to process your grant request through our
on-line grant management portal:

better management of disease and improvement in patient safety and population
health.

Educational Objectives
- Describe the mechanisms of action and
clinical data describing the safety and efficacy of available and emerging
therapies including incretin-based therapies in T2DM patients with
microvascular and/or macrovascular complications.
- Outline the morbidity, mortality and
cost burdens that result from inadequate management of T2DM and its resultant
complications in diverse populations (race, ethnicity, gender and age etc).
- Describe the role of aggressive,
multifaceted approaches to attaining treatment goals including glycemic
control and controlling weight, in relation to microvascular and/or
macrovascular complications.
- Enhance awareness of risk factors for
declining renal function in at-risk patients with T2DM and emphasize the
importance of early recognition and diagnosis of renal impairment and
appropriate glycemic management in such patients.
- Discuss strategies to align practice
guidelines and consensus recommendations with current standards of care and to
apply these appropriately for the care of patients with T2DM to optimize
clinical outcomes.
- Discuss new models of care in the
management of T2DM which may assist providers in delivering improved patient
care and educate patients on the importance of self-management of their
disease.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Describe the mechanisms of
action and basic/clinical data describing the safety and efficacy of emerging
therapies for use in T2DM patients, including emerging therapies for T2DM in
late phase development.
- Outline the morbidity,
mortality and cost burdens that result from inadequate management of T2DM and
its resultant complications.
- Examine and describe the
role of evolving standards of care and multifaceted approaches to attaining
treatment goals including glycemic control and controlling weight, in relation
to microvascular and/or macrovascular complications and how clinicians can
overcome clinical inertia.
- Discuss clinical strategies
to appropriately incorporate new therapeutic classes and agents into practice
recommendations for the care of patients with T2DM to optimize clinical
outcomes.
