Investigator-Initiated Studies
We’re committed to supporting investigator-initiated research that promotes the advancement of medical and scientific knowledge involving AbbVie’s products and therapeutic areas of interest.
Advancing science through investigator-sponsored research
The research from Investigator-Initiated Studies (IIS) has the capability to expand understanding of our products and their potential applications. Plus, data from investigator-sponsored research can inform patient care and spark new ideas for further disease-related research. The AbbVie IIS Program provides an opportunity for academic and community-based physicians and researchers worldwide interested in conducting their own research to apply for research support.
How to apply
If you’re an investigator, you can initiate the application process by submitting a brief summary of the proposed research for AbbVie associated products through the: IIS Study Submission Portal.
IIS applications are accepted on a rolling submission basis.
After you apply
Following the review of the initial submission, you may be asked to submit a full protocol and final study budget for further evaluation. Submission of a proposal does not imply or guarantee approval. The committee evaluates proposals according to scientific merit, alignment with our areas of research interest and available funding. Financial and/or product support is contingent upon full execution of the research agreement by both parties.
