Description
Stryker Medical’s Investigator-Initiated Studies (IIS) Program supports physician and nurse investigators conducting original clinical research using products from its Acute Care, Emergency Care Transport, and Sage portfolios. Qualified clinical investigators may request funding and/or product support for research in mutually beneficial therapeutic areas. The program supports investigator-led work, with investigators independently responsible for planning, designing, sponsoring, executing, and publishing their studies.
The program’s clinical interests focus on preventing patient and caregiver injury, reducing infections, and improving care. These include pressure injury prevention, surgical site infection prevention, comprehensive oral care, and early patient mobility, alongside safe patient handling, hospital-acquired infections, urine management, and targeted temperature management. Stryker Medical’s Clinical Affairs team gathers additional proposal information as needed and communicates support decisions following formal review.
