Stryker is committed to supporting investigator-initiated studies and collaborative research to advance the understanding and treatment of venous and arterial diseases.
Overview
Advancing medicine through investigator-initiated studies and collaborative research
We are dedicated to partnering with physicians and institutions to increase the body of knowledge for improving patient care and outcomes. Together, we can foster revolutionary change that advances medicine to treat and transform the lives of patients suffering from arterial and venous diseases. The External Research Program provides opportunities for external investigators and institutions to request support for Investigator-Initiated Studies and Collaborative Research. Collaborative Research may include support for open-access publication fees or research projects in which the external investigator or institution and Stryker contribute defined scientific, technical, operational, analytical, funding, product, and/or publication activities.
For all supported research, the external investigator or institution assumes the roles and responsibilities of the study sponsor, including compliance with regulatory requirements and assuring the validity of the study data.
