Investigator-Sponsored Studies

Our Investigator-Sponsored Study program will consider requests to support prospective single-center or multicenter clinical studies, real world registries/observational studies, and retrospective data analyses involving large databases (society, public, institutional, national). Research areas currently investigated within Abbott sponsored trials are out of scope. We welcome your research proposals in the areas of interests for each product or therapy segment outlined below.

Overhead / Indirect costs

Abbott discourages the imposition of an overhead/indirect charge for studies sponsored and conducted by the institution itself. Any suggested overhead/indirect charge obligation will be examined critically for reasonability in light of Abbott’s proposed funding support.

Inventions

Abbott respects the sponsor’s pre-existing rights in any intellectual property and will not seek to acquire or share any such rights. However, any discoveries or inventions related to an Abbott product used in the study must belong exclusively to Abbott. The sponsor will own the data and the results of the study but must agree to provide Abbott with reports or de-identified protocol-specified information (raw datasets or images) for Abbott’s use in further research or other lawful purposes.
