Investigator Initiated Study (IIS)

Stryker's Investigator Initiated Study (IIS) Grants are a part of our commitment to making healthcare better for our customers and their patients

Stryker IVS Investigator Initiated Studies (IIS) Program

IIS are independent clinical research projects that are conceived, initiated, conducted, and sponsored by a qualified third-party investigator (Sponsor Investigator). The Sponsor Investigator can be an individual investigator or an Institution and is responsible for fulfilling the applicable legal and regulatory requirements and any obligations as study sponsor.

Stryker IVS may support those IIS that are in line with the company clinical strategy, the defined areas of interest, and the identified divisional clinical data needs in the form of funding or by providing Stryker IVS devices.To be considered for Stryker’s support, the proposed IIS must be designed to produce data, results and conclusions that have scientific value to the medical or patient community and must offer robustness in terms of ethical and scientific design.

Note: Stryker support is limited to coverage of financial expenses (whether via funds or in-kind) and/or supply of Stryker products, without exceeding fair market value. Funding requests for expenses not associated with the conduct of the study are prohibited.
