Why Grants Governance Matters
Grants and funding—whether for education, research, or charitable purposes—play a vital role in advancing science and patient care. But without robust governance, they can expose organizations to:
- Regulatory scrutiny (EFPIA, ABPI, IFPMA, PhRMA, Sunshine Act)
- Conflicts of interest and reputational risk
- Audit failures due to poor documentation
- Misuse of funds or lack of scientific justification
Eunomia ensures that your grants and funding processes remain compliant, transparent, and operationally efficient—across all markets and engagement types.
