In addition to sponsoring its own research and research collaborations, Lilly has programs for considering external requests for Lilly provision of study drug and/or financial support for Investigator Initiated Research that is initiated, designed and sponsored by external researchers. Lilly considers such requests for support of Investigator Initiated Research projects based on scientific merit and strategic fit with Lilly’s areas of research interest. These reviews are carried out by global committees comprised of Lilly medical and scientific staff members from relevant therapeutic areas.
