--- ## Description The Bayer Radiology Investigator Initiated Research program is designed to support independent, investigator-led research projects that advance the field of radiology. The program emphasizes proposals focused on contrast-enhanced MRI, contrast delivery devices for CT and MRI, and informatics for radiology practice management—including radiation dose monitoring, contrast dose, and patient protocols. The initiative aims to foster innovation and improve clinical practices in radiology through original research. --- ## Due Dates - Rolling submission; proposals are accepted throughout the year. --- ## Funding Amount - Funding is competitive and determined based on the scope and needs of each proposal. - No specified maximum or minimum award; applicants should submit a detailed budget as part of their request. - Funding is limited and not guaranteed, even for previously supported investigators. --- ## Eligibility - Open to qualified investigators, institutions, or organizations with expertise in radiology research. - Principal Investigator and any Sub-Investigators must be clearly identified. - Proposals must be for new research; projects that have already started or have been completed are not eligible. - The research must align with Bayer’s areas of interest (contrast-enhanced MRI, contrast delivery devices, radiology informatics). - Investigators are responsible for study initiation, management, conduct, and compliance with applicable regulations. - Proposals from outside the USA/UK may require submission via local Bayer affiliates. --- ## Application Process - Submit an initial inquiry or full proposal via Bayer’s [Mont Blanc portal](https://iirportal.bayer.com/). - Required components for submission include: - Statement of support requested from Bayer (funds, products, or both) and intended use - Total project budget - Names and qualifications of PI and sub-investigators (include CVs) - Facility description - Background and significance of the proposal - Clear objectives and primary endpoint - Study design, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and statistical analysis plan - IRB information and publication plan - Proposals undergo internal review, typically requiring 1.5–2 months for a decision after submission. - If invited, applicants proceed to contract negotiation and study initiation. - Final study report or publication should be submitted within one year of study completion. --- ## Additional Information - Funding is limited and highly competitive. - Submission of a proposal does not guarantee funding or support. - Changes to the proposal or funding request after approval require re-submission and re-assessment. - Previous support from Bayer does not guarantee future funding. --- ## External Links - [Program Page: Radiology Investigator Initiated Research](https://www.grants-contributions.bayer.com/home/investigator-institution-initiated-research/radiology-investigator-initiated-research) - [Application Portal (Mont Blanc)](https://iirportal.bayer.com/) - [Bayer Grants & Contributions Home](https://www.grants-contributions.bayer.com) --- ## Contact Information | Purpose | Contact Method | |----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| | General/Portal Help | [support.montblanc@bayer.com](mailto:support.montblanc@bayer.com) | | Local Inquiries | Contact your local Bayer representative |
