Investigator Sponsored Studies

The goal of Abbott’s Investigator Sponsored Study (ISS) program is to enhance clinical and/or scientific knowledge of Abbott products and related disease states to ultimately benefit patients.

Upon request, we may provide support to the institution or employer of the sponsor/investigator conducting the clinical study (pending Abbott review and full approval). Concepts or protocols must be submitted for Abbott's consideration in accordance with company review processes.

For support consideration of pre-clinical research projects, please contact your local Abbott representative for more information or contact customer service to be referred to an Abbott representative.
