Educational Grants

Nevro believes that both healthcare professionals and patients benefit from a wide variety of educational opportunities that support advancements in medical technology. Nevro is proud to be able to provide grants to support educational activities and programs that help healthcare professionals enhance the care of their patients. We prioritize support in areas of scientific interest to the company that are intended to contribute to improvement in healthcare provider knowledge.

Every grant we award is based on 1) the merit of the educational program, as described in the submission, and 2) alignment with internal company policies. All grants are provided in compliance with the published codes that are standard industry practices (e.g. AdvaMed, Eucomed) and our internal policies.

No award is determined or influenced by the volume, or value of any business that could be potentially generated by the grant requester. The grant requester is not obligated to purchase, use, recommend, or arrange for the use of any product or service of Nevro.

Can my Nevro sales representative prepare and submit a grant application for me?

No. Consistent with the AdvaMed Code of Ethics and Nevro policy, our sales representatives may not prepare and submit grant applications on behalf of customers. Nevro sales representatives may direct applicants to the information available at the company Web site, and provide applicants with electronic and printed materials. This reflects Nevro’s commitment to the Code of Ethics, and the practical reality that our sales representatives will not have all of the required information and documents. Sales representatives are subject to disciplinary action for participating in any prohibited activities related to Nevro's Patient Assistance Program.
