Overview
As a part of our commitment to discover, develop, and deliver medicines to the patients who depend on us, we believe in supporting investigator-initiated research (IIR) to advance medical and scientific knowledge in our research areas of interest.
We define IIR as unsolicited research conceived, initiated, and conducted independently of Ionis. An external investigator serves as the sponsor, and with their institution, is wholly responsible for the design, implementation, conduct of the research, data collection, data interpretation, publication, and all compliance, quality, and regulatory requirements.
IIR proposals are evaluated on scientific merit, alignment with our research areas of interest, and availability of resources. Submission of a proposal does not guarantee Ionis’ support.
Research Areas of Interest
