What is Investigator Initiated Research?

Investigator Initiated Research (IIR) studies are designed and conducted independently by investigators who also serve as the study sponsor. As the sponsor, the investigator assumes all responsibilities for complying with applicable regulatory requirements. IIRs include any preclinical, clinical, technical, observational, economic or other research which include the use of LivaNova products. IIR may be supported by LivaNova in the form of product, funding and/or technical input.

How to Request IIR Support

Applications for 2025 are no longer being accepted. Please check back in January 2026 for updates related to a new process regarding IIR support applications.

To make a request for educational grants; research grants that serve a genuine medical-scientific purpose and do not involve any LivaNova product, brand, or influence; or charitable donations/indigent care, please visit our Donations and Grants page.
