Investigator-Initiated Studies (IIS)

UCB is committed to supporting research that addresses important scientific questions aligned with UCB's therapeutic areas of interest.  UCB's Investigator-Initiated Studies (IIS) program supports independent research with the potential to enhance medical and scientific knowledge that is initiated, sponsored, and conducted by an investigator without influence from UCB.

UCB will also consider innovative ideas that enhance patient care and advance scientific knowledge.

UCB's support may be provided in the form of funding and/or investigational drugs (product or compound manufactured/owned by UCB).
