Clinical Research Grant Programme(IIR)
Our company provides support for innovative, researcher-led studies in key areas of focus. Researcher-led studies are those initiated and conducted by researchers themselves. We conduct rigorous evaluations of the research plans submitted by each researcher from both medical and strategic perspectives related to our focus areas, and then decide on funding support.
We fully understand that private practitioners often face extremely busy clinical schedules. Therefore, as needed, we offer support such as statistical analysis assistance, clinical trial implementation aid, and manuscript preparation assistance (including translation into English).
