Funding Agreement Provisions to Support Product Affordability
Agreement provisions that can have an impact on the affordability of a funded product include:
Is the goal of making the funded product available at an affordable price acknowledged as part of the overall access objectives for the agreement?
What is the “access territory” for which the funded product should be available at an affordable price?
What type of affordable pricing commitments are appropriate for the context of the agreement?
Will the funded partner be required to enter into license and technology transfer arrangements to support a reduced cost of goods and facilitate affordable pricing for the funded product?
Will pricing strategy and cost of goods considerations be addressed as part of an evolving access plan for the funded product?
This toolkit has been built based on the data in the MAPGuide and the GHIAA team’s experience of negotiating and implementing agreements. We intend that the toolkit will evolve and expand over time based on input from MAPGuide users and availability of new agreements showing examples of alternative approaches. We welcome ongoing constructive dialogue around these materials and encourage you to contact us or fill in our feedback survey to share your thoughts, questions and suggestions.
