Your real odds

Gilead is a major pharma funder with full discretion over every award, and the LOI-first process means most applicants are screened out before they write a full proposal.

The foundation states explicitly that submitting an application guarantees nothing, and reserves the right to deny any application for any reason. Past funding from Gilead carries no weight in future cycles.

What it takes

Complete the brief online questionnaire to determine fit and access the grant portal30–60 minutes

Submit a Letter of Interest (LOI) through the portal1–3 days

If invited, complete a full application with program outcomes and budget detail1–2 weeks

Worth knowing

The foundation has named strategic initiatives, including COMPASS, HepConnect, HIV Age Positively, and Oncology equity programs, so your LOI language should map directly to one of those areas rather than describe your work in general terms. Post-grant requirements include budget reconciliation, Sunshine Act reporting, and program outcome data, which adds real administrative load after the award.
